Since 2009 they also compete in the Central & Eastern European Rugby Cup along with fellow Czechs Dragon Brno.

RC Říčany was founded in 1944 by Josef Kohout, after which the club's home ground is named.

The club had a tough start, as World War II was still pretty much in full force.

People were living in fear for the Gestapo or being sent to work in Germany.

1952 saw the temporary cessation of rugby activity, owing to the lack of skilled players and competent officials, problems with the playing field and financial struggles.
