(詳細はGerman rugby union from Hamburg, currently competing in the Rugby-Verbandsliga Nord, the fourth tier of rugby in Germany. The team is part of a larger club, the Hamburger SV, which also offers other sports like association football, baseball and cricket. ==History== The ''HSV's'' Rugby department was founded on 16 October 1925 by track and field athletes of the club and external rugby players. It is the oldest rugby team in Hamburg.〔(Geschichte der HSV-Rugby Abteilung ) Hamburger SV Rugby website - History, accessed: 23 April 2010〕 For the most part it has been stuck in the shadow of its local rival FC St. Pauli Rugby. However, over the years ''HSV'' managed to win the Hamburg championships twice: once in 1938 and another 40 years later in 1978. This feat earned the team a brief spell in the Rugby-Bundesliga, the highest division of the sport in Germany.〔 In the 1990s, the club closed its rugby department because of a lack of members. In March 2006, the department was reestablished and a first team formed, consisting mainly (90%) of players who had not played rugby before.〔 In 2008 the team had to withdraw from the Regionalliga and was demoted to the Verbandsliga due to a lack of players. During the following years the team focused more on restructuring and less on results resulting in occasional victories and a successful campaign, which saw the team finish second in the Verbandsliga Nord in 2012/2013.〔(Aktuelles ) Hamburger SV Rugby website - News, accessed: 23 April 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamburger SV Rugby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
