History
The Steaua București rugby club was formed in 1948, under the wing of the CSA Steaua București sports club that had been founded by the Romanian Army the previous year.[1]
Steaua established crosstown rivalries with Grivița Roșie București and Dinamo București, before winning the team's first Romanian Cup in 1950. The team won the league and cup double in 1953 and by the late 1950s Steaua was winning domestic titles with regularity. Over the years the team has also claimed success at the European Championships, winning six gold medals, three silver and one bronze.[1]
Steaua has produced several players that have represented the Romanian national rugby team including Daniel Barbu, Ionescu Alexandru Penciu, Rene Chiriac, Paul Ciobănel, Adrian Mateescu, Mircea Braga, and Răducu Durbac.[1]
Rivalries
CS Dinamo Bucureşti = Both CSA Steaua Bucureşti and CS Dinamo Bucureşti have been bitter rivals most sports since 1949, and when it comes to rugby, both sides are always competitive about who is the better team of Bucureşti.
