The Rugby-Sport-Verein Köln is a German rugby union club from Cologne, currently playing in the Rugby-Bundesliga.

It is part of the multi-sports club ASV Köln, which also offers other sports like athletics, triathlon and karate.

[2] The team initially played friendlies against British Army sides and clubs from Belgium before taking part in the German championship from 1953 onwards.

Suffering from a string of injuries and heavy defeats during the season, the club made the decision in mid-April 2010, to withdraw from the Rugby-Bundesliga and not to play its five remaining matches as they were no longer able to field a full front row.

ASV finished fourth in their group in the 2012-13 season and qualified for the south/west division of the championship round, where it came seventh.
