History
Arka Gdynia Rugby Club's history begins in the mid-1990s. The Arka hooligans decided to start a rugby team. Forming the team and winning the "sevens" tournament in Sopot in 1996, is considered the date which the rugby section was established. Arka performances in the league began in 1997. In the 1999/2000 season, the "Bulldogs" won their first medal, and four years later was the first time they became best team in the country. As of 2022, Arka won three more Polish Championships.
