Dinamo Bucureşti (Rugby) is one of the top rugby clubs in Romania. Located in the nation’s capital, Bucharest, the Dinamo Bucuresti side 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. The Dinamo Gaz Sud team, as they are presently known, won the 2007–08 Romanian top division (Divizia Nationala) title, defeating archrivals Steaua 6–0. This 2008 victory was the side's most recent success, with the team bowing out of the club competition at the semi-final stage during the past two seasons, most recently to eventual champions Baia Mare. Nevertheless, Dinamo Bucuresti has been the dominant club side in Romania since the arrival of the 21st century, recording six titles over the past decade.
