Northampton Saints are one of English rugby's most decorated clubs, competing in the Gallagher PREM, Investec Champions Cup, and Premiership Rugby Cup. Based at the 15,249-capacity Franklin's Gardens in Northampton, the club plays in their iconic black, green and gold colours under Director of Rugby Phil Dowson.
The Saints claimed their second Premiership title in the 2023-24 season with a dramatic 25-21 victory over Bath at Twickenham, ending a decade-long wait since their first league crown in 2014. This triumph reinforced their status among England's elite rugby clubs and sparked jubilant celebrations across Northampton, with thousands of supporters lining the streets for an open-top bus parade.
Saints have won seven major titles throughout their history, including European glory in 2000 when they were crowned Champions Cup winners. The club has also lifted the European Rugby Challenge Cup twice, the Anglo-Welsh Cup, and the inaugural Premiership Rugby Cup in 2019. Their fierce rivalry with Leicester Tigers produces the East Midlands Derby, one of English rugby's most intense contests.
Founded in 1880 as Northampton St. James by Reverend Samuel Wathen Wigg, the club earned its enduring nickname 'Saints' from its church origins. The club's history is marked by moments of both triumph and tragedy, including the legendary Edgar Mobbs, who died heroically in World War One. Saints have experienced relegation and promotion throughout their journey, emerging stronger each time to establish themselves as perennial contenders.
