Founded in 1861, we’re the oldest rugby union club in the Premiership, steeped in history. Born in Manchester and proud of our roots, playing top-flight rugby in the Gallagher Premiership, going head-to-head in Europe, and our emerging Sharks Women competing in the Allianz Premier 15s. We’re dreamers on the pitch, training hard to challenge for League titles and European silverware. Off the pitch, working to level the playing field with grassroots and community programmes. Proud to be Northern, proud of the community we call home, proud to be Sharks. We're a family. A tea-drinking, protein-eating, rugby-loving family, woven together by the Fabric of the North.
