The history of Bilbao rugby has six teams from the town, but from the 1990sseveral of them are forced to disappear, leaving only the university and Bilbao. In the year 2000, after many meetings, the directors of both teams decided to undertake the merger of the two clubs, giving way to what at that time was called the UPV / EHU University Bilbao, where in that same season he was promoted to first category. national division. With the promotion of category came the new name of the club that was renamed Universitario Bilbao Rugby, which would remain in the national division until the 2005-06 season, which was downgraded, but would be recovered five years later. There have been several ups and downs of category.

In 2016, after a successful promotion campaign, the Bilbao University promoted the women's team.
