History

[edit]

The club was established in 2002, with the women's team being founded in 2013.

In 2023, Tokyo Sankyu Phoenix signed a partnership with Australian Super Rugby Women's side the Western Force.[1][2] The agreement would allow for pre-season trial games, the sharing of knowledge, exchange of players, management, coaches, training staff and media staff, co-creation branding and academy planning.[1][2]

Tokyo Sankyu Phoenix met Mie Pearls for the 2023–2024 National Women’s Rugby Championship final which was played for the first time at the Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium.[3][4] They defeated the Mie Pearls 24–40.[5][6]

After being crowned national champions, they played the Western Force in a pre-season trial match on 23 February at HBF Park; they won the game 24–14.[7][8]

On 2 February 2025, they successfully defended their championship title which they have won for the third consecutive year.[9] They defeated Mie Pearls in the final to win the 11th Japan Women's Rugby Football Championship.[10]
