Currently the club run three senior sides, along with the Colts and youth rugby ages group teams.

The foundation of the club was initially started by six individuals; Bob Kirkwood, Jack Hogg, Roger Mclaren, Tom Chandler, David Bisset & Alex Galbraith .

The 'six' were joined by Gordon Stewart, and given the necessary backing and, more importantly, use of the facilities at Currie High School, by the Headmaster, Ronnie Paul.

Together the group sent out posters and leaflets around the Currie, Balerno and Juniper Green area calling on all interested to attend an open meeting at Curriehill School in April 1970 to 'discuss the formation of a local Rugby Club'.

In 2006–07 season Currie secured their first Division 1 championship with victory over Heriots at Goldenacre, beating Glasgow Hawks to the league title.

Maintaining the majority of players from pre-pandemic and even having a squad big enough to enter a 3XV into the reserve leagues of Scottish rugby.

After scoring a late try through winger Kody McGovern, the Chieftains were up 18-14 away from home against a 13 man Hawick side and only had 6 minutes left of the game to play.
