History

A club largely made up of German and international students, StuSta took out its first Bavarian rugby union championship in 2002, winning the Regionalliga Bayern, repeating this success in 2004.^[2]

Following this success, the club earned promotion to the 2nd Rugby-Bundesliga South/West in 2004, the second tier of German rugby. After struggeling against relegation for the first three seasons there, the team has established itself as a mid-table side.

In this league, it competes with local rival München RFC, a former Rugby-Bundesliga club. It took StuSta until May 2008 however, to win a game against the other Munich club.^[3]

The club suffered relegation at the end of the 2010-11 season and had to drop down to the 3rd Liga South/West for the following year. The second team plays in the now 4th tier Regionalliga Bayern. And the newly founded Women's team plays in the 2nd tier Regionalliga South/West.
