Worcester Warriors Rugby Club

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. The last two years have been extremely challenging. However, following their acquisition by Junction 6 Limited in May 2024 there has been huge progress with clear plans to return elite level rugby to Sixways. The club has formally expressed their interest in joining the RFU's new Tier 2 league for the 2025/26 season.

Worcester Warriors Foundation
The Worcester Warriors Foundation was set up by Cecil Duckworth CBE in 2009 to create a legacy for Worcester and to give something back to the community. The Foundation works with the most isolated and vulnerable people in Worcestershire, including young people struggling with trauma, elderly people and their carers coping with the effects of dementia and those with complex individual needs. They use the power of sport to engage and inspire people, supporting over 20,000 people a year across numerous projects. The Foundation has their base at the Royal Porcelain works in Worcester city centre.
