is a professional rugby union club based in Istanbul, Turkey.
Another first of the İstanbul Ottomans was to win the very first official Turkish Rugby Union competition in the year of 2007 / 2008.
The club has participated in a number of tournaments taking place both in Turkey and abroad, and has formidably good relations with the rugby clubs of neighboring countries.
With most of its players having played rugby away back since their junior years, they are a driving force and a role model of experience to other rugby players in Turkey.
The İstanbul Ottomans joined the international Ameland Beach Rugby Festival in The Netherlands in June 2008, as a first Turkish team ever to participate in this tournament.
