The club's home ground is at Royal Park in the Launceston, Tasmania. Known as the Tigers and previously the Bumble Bees, the club colours are blue and yellow. The club currently fields a team in Men's Second Division.

The club resulted from a merger of the Glen Dhu Rugby Club and the Riverview Rugby Club in 1998 following an undefeated run by Riverview in 1997 winning the Reserves grade against West Coast with a score 62-10. The merge of the two Launceston based club resulted in back to back Premierships for Launceston in 1998 and 1999 before losing the State Grand Final to the University of Tasmania in 2000.
