## History

Bera Bera R.T. was established in 1986 as a split from the rugby union section of Club Atlético San Sebastián. Its name, Bera Bera came from the avenue of the Aiete neighborhood of San Sebastián, where the rugby field of Atlético San Sebastian was located, which in turn, came from a caserío in the zone. Originally, Bera Bera was solely a rugby union club, which remained as such almost during a decade.

## Rugby union section

The rugby union section was the one which gave origin to the club and plays in the Spanish rugby union top category, División de Honor. Among its achievements, the club won its only Copa del Rey title, won in 2004. In the 2008-09 season, it reached the 7th place in the División de Honor, near to relegation until the following season. Bera Bera usually plays its home games at MIniestadio de Anoeta, in San Sebastián. Its participation in the Super Ibérica de Rugby frames this club as the lead club of the Basque franchise, the Basque Korsarioak, which incorporate players from most Basque clubs.
