History

Royal Wootton Bassett was formed in 1971 and when league rugby was introduced in 1987, they were placed in Berks/Dorset/Wilts 1. They stayed in that division until they gained their first promotion in 1993.
In 2016, the club was promoted to South West 1 East. They played in that division until the COVID-19 cancelled season in 2020, after which they were promoted to tier 5 as best runners-up. They remained at that level for three seasons when they finished second from bottom in Regional 1 South Central, resulting in relegation back to tier 6.
