CS Dinamo București is a professional Romanian rugby union club from Bucharest, which plays in the Liga Națională de Rugby, the first division of Romanian rugby. They are the second most successful rugby union team in Romania with 16 championship titles, 14 cup titles and even a Champions League title to their name. After a pause of 15 years, Dinamo won the 2023 Liga Națională de Rugby season, denying rival CSM Știința Baia Mare a 5th historic consecutive title.

History

The Dinamo București rugby club was founded in 1949, under the wing of the CS Dinamo București sports club that had been founded by the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs the previous year.

Along with Steaua București and Grivița Roșie București (their two local-town rivals), they had dominated the 1950s scene in Romanian rugby as they won 3 Romanian Championships in 1951, 1952 and 1956, while also winning the Romanian cup twice in 1954 and in 1959.

Located in the nation’s capital, Bucharest, the Dinamo București side had traditionally consisted of members drawn from the ranks of the civil service and/or police. Along with the army side, Steaua, the Dinamo team is one of the nation’s top rugby union outfits.

Dinamo won their most recent title in the 2023 Liga Națională de Rugby season, defeating CSM Știința Baia Mare 17-13. Their only try was scored by the centre Mihai Graure, while four penalties were successfully executed by Jondre Williams.

In 2025 Dinamo appointed Carl Hogg as director of rugby, while Freddie Burns joined the team later in August in what was considered one of the most iconic transfers in the history of the Romanian Liga.
