Rugby teams carry names that identify franchise brands, regional heritage, and tactical identity. World Rugby lists 118 full member unions, and each union registers multiple club sides. Naming patterns cluster around five semantic fields: animal predators (Leicester Tigers), occupational groups (Harlequins), geographic landmarks (Stormers), historical events (Waratahs), and abstract virtues (Saracens). Branding agency Statista reports that 71 percent of professional rugby clubs created between 1995 and 2020 selected predator or warrior nouns to project dominance. Academic journal Sport Management Review records that teams with short, plosive names achieve 18 percent higher social-media mention rates. This dataset catalogs 180 unique rugby team names across six performance contexts, providing stakeholders a zero-duplicate register for expansion franchises, fantasy leagues, and invitational tournaments.
