Club summary
Haagsche RC began in 1932 with students at a physical-education academy in The Hague. One early club story has two members trying to move the goalposts by bicycle and ending up in a canal. The men went on to win 17 Dutch national titles, including back-to-back wins in 2024/25 and 2025/26.Read the club historyRecent scores

Club history
Two members carried the goalposts by bicycle and rode into a canal
During the 1933 move to the Buurtweg ground, two members tried to transport the goalposts by bicycle. They rode into the Koninginnegracht.
HRC sat out a league season to build its clubhouse
In 1968/69 the club left league competition while members built their own clubhouse. It opened in September 1969, and the 2019 rebuild was raised on top of that building.
The Béchèt cup given in 1935 is still played for at the start of a season
The club history says the cup was given to HRC in 1935 and is still played for at the start of a season.
