Beverley RUFC was originally founded in 1883, had a stint a Longcroft Old Boys before reassuming the club's current name in 1965.[2] The club has played in both the North East and Yorkshire divisions of the club rugby union hierarchy. During the mid-2000s the club won four consecutive promotions, moving from Yorkshire 2 to the national level when the club spent the 2007-08 season in the old National 3 North when that division was at the fourth level of club rugby. However, Beverley has suffered two relegations since then, but after one season in North 1 East, they were promoted as champions and spent two seasons in National League 3 North before being relegated back into North 1 East and the following season into Yorkshire 1.
The Beavers won the 2024 final of the Papa Johns Counties 1 North shield, beating Peterborough Lions 58-33.
