Saracens Rugby Club (/ˈsærəsənz/) is an English professional rugby union club based in North London, England, currently playing in Premiership Rugby, the highest level of competition in English rugby.[14]
Established in 1876, the club has spent most of its existence in and around Southgate in the London Borough of Enfield. Since 2012, Saracens have played their home games at Copthall Stadium (or StoneX Stadium for sponsorship reasons) in Hendon, in the borough of Barnet. Before this, they played at Vicarage Road in Watford for 15 years. The club's home kit playing colours are black and red. They are also affiliated with the Saracens Women's team, which competes in the top tier Premiership Women's Rugby competition.
Saracens have won 11 major trophies. They have been crowned European champions three times – in 2016, 2017 and 2019. The club has also won the English Premiership six times – most recently in 2023[15] – and the domestic cup twice, in 1998 and 2015. In addition, they have also won the RFU Championship, the second division title, on three occasions – in 1989, 1995, and 2021.
