Fußballclub Heidelberg-Neuenheim, the club's original name, was formed in the Neuenheim suburb of Heidelberg. Their first two titles were achieved still under this name, including winning its first German championship in 1912.〔(Über den Sportclub Neuenheim ) SCN website - History, accessed: 13 January 2009〕 In 1923, the club changed its name to SC Neuenheim since the term football club did not reflect its orientation any more. The club developed to become the most victorious rugby club in Heidelberg, collecting a large number of titles in men's and women's rugby. It prides itself as the biggest rugby club in Germany in regards to membership.〔(Sportclub Neuenheim ) SCN website - front page, accessed: 13 January 2009〕 With the interception of the Rugby-Bundesliga in 1971, ''SCN'' fell behind other clubs, especially the strong clubs from Hannover. After 28 years without a championship, the club pulled off a surprise win over TSV Victoria Linden in the 1995 final, beating the favourite 14-13 in extra time.〔(1.Mannschaft des SCN, mehrfacher Deutscher Meister und Pokalsieger ) SCN website - Bundesliga history, accessed: 13 January 2009〕 Another surprise championship came in 2003, when DRC Hannover, winner of the previous five championships, could be beaten 18-6. The year after the club won its last men's championship to date, defeating ''DRC'' once more. In 2006, in the first ever all-Heidelberg final, it lost to RG Heidelberg 9-13. In 2007, it finished fourth in the league, three points outside the finals ranks. The season after, only a fifth place could be achieved and the ''SCN'' was well clear of the top-two positions in points. The club improved in 2008-09, having hired a new coach for this purpose, finishing third in the league and reaching the semi-finals in the championship, where it went out to Heidelberger RK in extra time. It took until 2011-12 to finish in the top four again and reach the post season. The club was however outclassed in its semi-final and lost 71-21 to regular season champions Heidelberger RK.〔(Rugby-Bundesliga 2011-12 ) rugbyweb.de, accessed: 3 May 2012〕 At the end of the season the contract with coach Mark Kuhlmann was not extended.〔(TotalRugby Wechselbörse 2012/2013 ) totalrugby.de, accessed: 25 June 2012〕 SCN finished first in their group in the 2012-13 season and qualified for the south/west division of the championship round, where it also came first.
