RC Spartan Oradea

RC Spartan Oradea (also known as RC Nágyvarad Spartans in Hungary) is an amateur Romanian rugby club based in Oradea.

The club was founded in 2005 by Mircea Țucudean, a former soldier and bodyguard who himself had played rugby while at the University of Oradea.

In 2008, the club withdrew from the Romanian league to play in neighboring country Hungary, citing financial reasons and inconsistencies in refereeing.

In 2011, Spartan Oradea promoted from the Nemzeti Bajnokság I the second division of rugby union in Hungary to the first division of rugby union in Hungary which was the DHL Extraliga.
