Venezia Mestre Rugby FC are a former Italian rugby union club that were based in Venice in Veneto.
They were formed in 1986 following the merger of two clubs: Venezia Rugby Football Club (founded 1948) and Rugby Mestre (founded 1965).
The newly formed team joined Serie C1.
In 1993-1994 they finished first but were denied promotion to Serie B because of a regulation requiring an under 14 team was not met.
Promotion to Serie B finally came in 1999-2000, two years later they took part in Serie A.
In 2004-2005 they were again promoted to the Super 10, the top tier of Italian rugby union.
Financial problems led the club to bankruptcy and eventual disband in 2011.
