The Glasgow Tigers were founded in 1986 as the Strathclyde Sheriffs. The team was undefeated in the 1988 season. The team renamed to the Tigers in 2002 and won a division title in 2009. The team established a youth programme called the Glasgow Tigers Academy in 2017. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. [2]
