In addition to the senior men's teams there are two Academy teams (under 19s) and a Ladies' team who are playing in the RFUW's Women's NC South East South Division 1 for the 2014/15 season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=View Club Details - Havant Ladies ) 〕 Additionally Havant Minis and Juniors run sides covering every age from infant school to sixth form.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mini & Junior Information )〕 == History == Havant RFC, 'Hav', was founded in April 1951 and came to their present home, at Hook's Lane, Bedhampton, two years later. The clubhouse, which was built by members of the club, was opened in 1955 by the Lady Mayoress of Portsmouth. Ten years after its founding, HRFC was running 5 sides. In 1962 Colts were started and there were further extensions to the clubhouse. A new clubhouse was opened at the end of 1975 and in 1993 there were further extensions including the addition of an all-seater grandstand. Early milestones in the club's playing history were the winning of the Hampshire Cup for the first time in 1974/75 and then, in 1975/76, becoming the first Junior Club to get through to the last 16 of the John Player Cup. HRFC have now won the Hampshire Cup 17 times, most recently in the 2014/15 season and have appeared in the final 25 times in the period from 1970 to 2015.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Cup Final Historical Results )〕 The highlights of the league campaigns were gaining promotion to National League 3 at the end of 1991/92, and then finishing joint top of that division the following season, missing promotion on points difference after surprisingly losing their last match at Aspatria〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Club calls for more support )〕 which, had they succeeded, would have made the club one of the top twenty clubs in the country. After a difficult period in the second half of the 1990s (concurrent with the advent of professionalism), the club halted their slide in 2000/01 and fought their way back into the National Leagues the following season. They were immediately relegated, but bounced straight back at the end of the next season, and in 2004/05 managed a top half of the table finish to establish themselves at this level. In 2005/06 HRFC consolidated their National League 3 South credentials with a mid-table finish and in 2006/07 they mounted their best campaign in recent years to finish just outside the promotion places in 3rd position. The following seasons have been difficult for 'Hav' with many players leaving the area, retiring or moving to other clubs - ultimately leading to relegations after the 2008/09 season and the 2011/12 season to get to their current level.
