Gran Parma Rugby
GranDucato Parma Rugby
Gran Ducato Parma Rugby was formed in June 2010 through the merger of Gran Parma Rugby, Rugby Colorno and Rugby Viadana[2][3]. With the formation of Aironi to play in the Magners League the best players and sponsorship from the three participating clubs was concentrated in this new single club Aironi. As a result of Aironi these three teams decided to merge their senior and U-20 teams in order to better compete in the Super 10 for the 2010/2011 season. The three teams will still exist below the U-20 level independently with the goal of producing players for GranDucato, and ultimately Aironi and the national team. The club will also be able to provide players to the Aironi team and also to give game time in the Super 10 to Aironi Magners league players in need of it.
History
SKG Gran Parma Rugby is an Italian rugby union club, that competed in Super 10 until 2010. They now only compete as an amateur club. They will compete independently of GranDuchy with a senior team but only in the lower divisions. They will also maintain a youth club. They are based in Parma in Emilia-Romagna. The Gran Parma team was founded in 1999 following the merger of Amatori Parma Rugby and Rugby Noceto.
Between 1999 and 2002 they competed in Seria A2 and won promotion to Serie A1. They finished eighth in their first season in the top flight which gave them the right to join the newly formed Super 10. They made their European debut in 2002-2003 in the European Shield.
