Exeter are the only club to win the top four tiers of English rugby, winning the Premiership in 2017 and 2020, RFU Championship in 2010, National League 1 in 1997 and National League 2 South in 1996. They have won the Anglo-Welsh Cup twice, most recently in 2018, and the European Rugby Champions Cup once, in 2020. The current director of rugby is Rob Baxter, who was appointed in March 2009. History[edit] Early years[edit] Exeter Rugby Club was founded in 1871. The club played its first match in 1873 against St.
The next season, they moved from the County Ground to Sandy Park due to a need for modern facilities that included corporate hospitality. [5] In 2008 they again finished in second place and again missed out on promotion by finishing behind Northampton Saints. The same situation happened the next season when Exeter finished behind Leeds Carnegie. Premiership[edit] In 2009, National Division One was reorganised into the RFU Championship with playoffs. During the regular league season, Exeter finished second behind Bristol. In the playoffs, they defeated Bedford Blues and Nottingham, before facing Bristol in the two legged final.
[22] These plans came about because of a requirement for later stages of European matches to be played at grounds with a capacity of at least 20, 000. [23] Following recent East stand changes during 21/22, capacity now at 15, 600 Current kit[edit] The kit is supplied by Samurai Rugby Gear.
