The name of the club was chosen by Manolo Molina (Moli) and by its first President Mr. Fernando Sánchez Pascua, who played as a fly half for Ciencias de Sevilla during his student days, and even participated in some of the Spanish National Team squads.
Rugby has always been linked to the university and student world, and the CAR was no different, and thanks to the fact that Mr. Fernando was a Mathematics teacher at the I.B.
Cáceres competed unsuccessfully on several occasions in the leagues for promotion to Primera Nacional (the second national rugby category after the División de Honor), until in 1994 and due to the remodelling of this in four groups, it achieved the longed-for promotion, losing the category the following year pushed by the relegation of the CR Liceo Francés from División de Honor de Rugby to Primera Nacional.
During the 95/96 season it again won the right to represent Extremadura in the league for promotion to Primera Nacional, achieving it automatically when the number of participants in each of the 4 groups of said category was increased to ten, including C.A.R.
Cáceres in Group D formed by teams from Madrid, Andalusia, the Canary Islands and Extremadura, this time yes, to consolidate itself definitively and until today in the same.
was classified at the end of the competition in fifth place, which allowed it to compete in the Copa Ibérica de Rugby (which pitted teams from Spain and Portugal against each other) against G.D. Direito de Lisboa, but was eliminated due to improper line-up in the Portuguese team.
The constant evolution of the club led to it obtaining the title of Champion of Group D of the First National Division in the 99/00 season, which was an important success not only for Cáceres rugby, but for Extremadura sport in general.
Cáceres was commemorated with the dispute, as a culmination, of various matches against Olímpico de Pozuelo in the Youth, Senior and Veteran categories.
The following season, 2002/2003, the coach was changed and they managed to play the preliminary phase to the Division of Honor “B” again, being eliminated again, this time by CRAT Xestur Coruña, despite the fact that it was a very close tie.
With the firm objective of obtaining the longed-for, and already almost reached, promotion to the next category of national rugby, the 2003/2004 season began, in which the team occupied promotion places until this path was cut short by the sudden death of its coach, José Ángel Hermosilla and the subsequent collapse of the team.
