History
Arka Gdynia Rugby Club's history begins in the mid-1990s. The Arka hooligans[citation needed] decided to start a rugby team. Forming the team and winning the "sevens" tournament in Sopot in 1996, is considered the date when the rugby section was established. Arka performances in the league began in 1997. In the 1999/2000 season, the "Bulldogs" won their first medal, and four years later for the first time became the best team in the country. As of 2022, Arka has won three more Polish Championships.
