History

The club was founded in 1985 by a teacher called Peter Rohde, who began teaching at the town's Storebjerg (Big Mountain) School. In the early years, the club had only junior teams, but started competing at senior level in 1988. This brought about a name change from Hundested Skole Rugby to Hundested Rugby Klub. They also got their own field in that same year, having played at Storebjerg School and various football fields prior to that.
