Worcester Warriors are by far the most successful club in the West Midlands since the Professional Age and currently play in the Aviva Premiership. The club was founded in 1871 by the Reverend Francis John Ede, with the first known game played against the Artillery on 8 November 1871. The club began playing at Bevere in Worcester in 1954 and left Bevere for Sixways in 1975 when the clubhouse was opened. When the league system was formed, the club was placed in North Midlands Division One, a level eight league. Due to extensive support from their backer Cecil Duckworth, the club were able to build a strong team, with promotion after promotion following. Worcester Warriors were promoted to the (then Zurich) Premiership after winning National Division One in 2003–2004 with a perfect record of 26 wins from 26 games, something that had never before been achieved. They stayed in the Premiership until they were relegated at the end of the 2009/10 season, attracting such world stars as Rico Gear, Chris Latham and Pat Sanderson, reaching and losing the 2004/05 European Shield and the European Challenge Cup in 2007/08. They played the 2010–11 season in the Championship with Richard Hill announced as the new Head Coach, on a 2-year contract and Chris Pennell was announced as the new captain. The 2010-11 season saw Worcester win 30 out of 31 games in the Championship, losing the only game to the Cornish Pirates in the main season at Sixways. Worcester were top of the league and top of their stage 2 group. After winning the play-off against Bedford Blues at Sixways and the both legs of the play-off final, Worcester secured promotion to the Premiership for the 2011-12 season.
