Worcester Rugby Football club was founded in 1871 but the Warriors moniker was only established in 1997, shortly after the game turned professional. Under the ownership of the late, great Cecil Duckworth CBE the club rapidly climbed the leagues, eventually entering the Premiership in the 2004/5 season. For the next 18 years the Warriors firmly established themselves as an elite level club with a hugely respected youth programme. Perhaps a high-point was winning the Premiership Cup in May 2022. Unfortunately this victory could not disguise the club's financial problems and it entered into administration in September 2022.

By this point, Worcester RFC had moved to new facilities off Offerton Lane, where it continues to thrive today. The amateur club remains a vital part of the community, offering rugby for all ages and abilities — from minis and juniors through to mixed ability, walking rugby, and senior sides.

The last two years have been extremely challenging. However, following the acquisition by Junction 6 Limited in May 2024 there has been huge progress, with clear plans to return elite level rugby to Sixways. In October 2024 Warriors formally expressed their interest in joining the RFU's new Tier 2 league for the 2025/26 season, submitting their application a few weeks later. On 3rd April 2025 it was announced that Worcester Warriors had been granted a place in the RFU's revamped Tier 2 competition and the advent of the new season is hotly anticipated.
