Rugby Club I Cavalieri is a rugby union team from the city of Prato, Italy. They play in the Serie A competition, one tier below the Super 10.

[edit] History

The team was formed in 2000 through the merger of three existing rugby clubs: i Sorci Verdi, the first rugby team in Prato who were founded in 1958; S.S. Rugby Prato and Rugby Iolo.

During the 2005/06 season, they qualified for the Serie A play-offs for the first time. Hoping for promotion to the Super 10, they won the first leg off their semi-final before losing the home leg and going out with a lower aggregate score.

In the following season, they won both legs of the semi-final before losing the final 13-10 to Venezia.
