TheOspreys (Welsh:Y Gweilch), formerly the Neath–Swansea Ospreys[2][3] is one of the four professionalrugby union teams fromWales. They compete in theUnited Rugby Championship and inEuropean Professional Club Rugby competitions. The team formed as a result ofNeath RFC andSwansea RFC combining to create a new merged entity, as part of thenew regional structure of Welsh rugby, that began in 2003. They are also affiliated with a number of local semi-professional and amateur clubs, including Welsh Premier Division sidesAberavon RFC,Bridgend Ravens, and original founding clubs Neath and Swansea. The regional area represented by the team has widely become known for rugby purposes as 'Ospreylia'.[4]
Their main home ground isSt Helen's,Swansea. The Ospreys played for 20 years atSwansea.com Stadium. Some smaller profile games have been played at theBrewery Field,Bridgend. Ospreys currently play in a black home strip, while the away strip is white. The Ospreys logo consists of an image of anOsprey mask.
The Ospreys are the most successful Welsh team in the history of theCeltic League or Pro12 tournament, having won the competition four times. They also became the first and only Welsh regional team to beat a major touring side, defeatingAustralia A 24–16 in 2006.[5]

On 24 July 2003, it was announced that the new team jointly representingNeath RFC andSwansea RFC would be known as the Neath–Swansea Ospreys.[6] The Ospreys part of the team's name was inspired by the use of the bird as Swansea RFC's centenary badge. Former Neath RFC coachLyn Jones was appointed as head coach, who namedScott Gibbs as the team's first captain.[7] 5 September 2003 saw the region play their first competitive game, a 41–30Celtic League home win over Irish provinceUlster atThe Gnoll inNeath.[8]Leeds Tykes were the Ospreys' firstHeineken Cup opponents, with the English team triumphing 29–20 on 7 December 2003.[9] They struggled to recover from their opening defeat, finishing bottom of their pool, recording their only victory against the Tykes' at home in the final round atSt. Helens.[10] Domestically the Ospreys' did salvage some pride, avoiding becoming the lowest placed Welsh region, by pippingCardiff Blues to fifth place in the Celtic League.[11]
Following the demise of theCeltic Warriors region on 1 June 2004,[12] the Neath–Swansea Ospreys had their borders extended to cover much of theBridgend andOgmore areas to the east.[13] However, for logistical reasons it was decided that no home games would be played atBridgend RFC'sBrewery Field.[14] Former Warriors players David Bishop, Brent Cockbain, Ryan Jones and Sonny Parker were signed by the Ospreys'.
The 2004–05 season saw significant on field improvement for the region. A capacity crowd of 10,280 was present at The Gnoll on 26 March 2005 to witness the Ospreys claim their first piece of silverware. A 29–12 win overEdinburgh, with two rounds of the competition still remaining, saw the team crowned Celtic League champions.[15] However, impressive back to back wins overHarlequins were not enough to overcomeMunster in the pool stages ofthat season's Heineken Cup. On 14 May 2005 it was announced that the "Neath–Swansea" part of the team's name would be dropped, with them to be referred to as the Ospreys.[2]
A growing sense of expectation surrounded the team heading into 2005–06, an expectation they struggled to cope with, finishing a disappointing seventh in the Celtic League. A difficult Heineken Cup pool made up of tough opposition inLeicester Tigers,Stade Francais andASM Clermont Auvergne proved too difficult, as they finished a distant third. A gutsy home victory over Stade[16] and a last gasp defeat to Leicester,[17] did however offer some crumbs of comfort. In April 2006 it was announced that noted former New ZealandAll Blacksscrum halfJustin Marshall had signed to play for Ospreys.
The Ospreys won theCeltic League during the 2006/07 season, topping the league by a single point and taking the title with an away win at Borders. Winning the Celtic League for a second time meant the Ospreys were the first team to have won the Celtic League twice. In February 2008, the Ospreys provided 13 of the starting line-up forWales in theirSix Nations match against England, setting a new record for the number of players from one region playing for their national side. During the 2007/08 season the Ospreys reached Quarter-final of theHeineken Cup for the first time but unexpectedly lost toSaracens. The following week they won theEDF Energy Cup beatingLeicester Tigers atTwickenham.
In November 2006 when it became apparent that Wales 'A' would not be able to faceAustralia A national rugby union team midweek during theirNovember tour, the Ospreys became the first Welsh region to play a major international side since regional rugby was introduced, a match they won 24–16.[18] Following the win over the Wallabies, the term Ospreylia became ingrained in popular culture[19][20][21] with it being adopted by the region and its supporters as a description of the geographical area covered by the region, with supporters known as Ospreylians.Peter Black, Assembly Member for south west Wales has declared himself asAM for Ospreylia on his own blog.[22]
On 23 February 2007, the Ospreys played their first 'A' team match, against Newport-Gwent Dragons 'A' at Bridgend, which was the first 'A' match fixture for any of the Welsh regional sides. They lost the match 22–10. They have since gone on to play Worcester 'A' in April, a game which they lost 24–23 to an injury-time penalty.
In February 2008Andrew Hore was appointed as the Ospreys as elite performance director. Previously Hore had been high performance manager with theNew Zealand Rugby Union.[23]
A disappointing seventh-place finish in the Celtic League and a surprise Heineken Cup quarter-final exit toSaracens F.C. saw head coachLyn Jones resign at the end of the 2007–08 season, on 16 May 2008 Assistant Coach Sean Holley and forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys would continue as part of a new management structure being overseen by Andrew Hore, until a replacement could be found.[24]Scott Johnson, the former head coach of the Welsh national team, and attack coach when Wales won theSix Nations ChampionshipGrand Slam in 2005 for the first time in 27 years, was announced as director of coaching at the Ospreys on 29 January 2009.
On 21 April 2009, the Ospreys had six players included in theBritish & Irish Lions' squad for the 2009 South African tour:Lee Byrne (fullback),Tommy Bowe andShane Williams (wings),Mike Phillips (scrum-half),Alun Wyn Jones (lock) andAdam Jones (prop). One notable omission however, was Wales and Ospreys captainRyan Jones. The Ospreys announced the signing of former New ZealandAll BlackscaptainJerry Collins on 9 May 2009.[25] Collins had been a stalwart for the All Blacks, since 2004 but retired from international rugby in 2008.
A 29–28 defeat by Biarritz on 10 April 2010 dashed the team's hopes of a first Heineken Cup semi-final appearance. A late Nicky Walker try in San Sebastien proved in vain.[26] However, on 29 May 2010, the Ospreys won the2009–10 Celtic League by defeatingLeinster in the final by 17–12 at theRDS Arena in Dublin.[27]
Following a wide-ranging review, Andrew Hore, previously elite performance director at the Ospreys, became on 26 April 2011 chief operations officer at the region.[23]
2010–11 would not see the region reach the heights of the previous one. Despite winning all their home pool games in the Heineken Cup, a failure to win on the road proved costly, with Munster and Toulon progressing instead. Another win for Munster atThomond Park on 14 May 2011, ended the Ospreys Celtic League aspirations at the semi-final stage.[28]
Former playerSteve Tandy was appointed as new Ospreys head coach on 15 February 2012 replacing Sean Holley in the role, asScott Johnson also departed to take up a coaching role withScotland.[29] Both Holley and Johnson's final game as part of the coaching setup at the Liberty Stadium had been a 36–5 away loss to Biarritz, which marked the end of a Heineken Cup campaign that saw them again fail to win on their travels. New coach Tandy enjoyed a successful start to his tenure, winning eight of his first ten matches as full-time Head Coach, including winning the2011–12 Pro12 following a 31–30 win over Leinster at the RDS, thanks to a lateShane Williams try in his final match for the region 29–30 and Dan Biggar adding a difficult conversion for the win 31–30.[30] Ospreys reached 2 semi-finals in the subsequent 6 seasons, but not made the final.
Following a poor start to the 2017–2018 season, Tandy was sacked by the Ospreys.[31] Forwards coachAllen Clarke took over on an interim basis, before agreeing to a three-year deal as head coach.[32]
For the 2018–2019 season, along with new head coach Clarke,Matt Sherratt joined the coaching staff, replacing Gruff Rees.[33] The season also began with notable squad changes, with record points scorerDan Biggar departing forNorthampton Saints,[34] and stalwartPaul James retiring.[35] The Ospreys were boosted with the signings of Welsh internationalsGeorge North,[36]Scott Williams,[37] andAled Davies.[38] The season saw a modest improvement for the Ospreys, winning 12 matches and losing 9, as well as beating west Wales rivals the Scarlets for a Champions Cup place.[39] The Ospreys endured an inauspicious 2019–2020 season, finishing bottom of Conference A of the Pro14, winning just two of their 15 matches.
The 2020–2021 season saw Allen Clarke replaced by former electricianToby Booth.[40] He succeeded in sparking the region back to life, including an away win at eventual champions Leinster[41] and a return to top tier European competition for the following season. In 2021–2022, the rebranded United Rugby Championship saw the Ospreys win the Welsh Shield, but struggle in the Champions Cup, losing all of their group games. They also narrowly missed out on the league play-offs, coming in ninth position. A home win over Munster heralded the arrival of outstanding back row forward Jac Morgan.[42]
The 2022–2023 season once again saw a mid-table finish in the United Rugby Championship. The Ospreys' European Champions Cup campaign started in ominous fashion, as a much-changed Leicester team defeated them at the Swansea.com stadium. As one of the lowest-seeded teams in the competition, the Ospreys would have to play the reigning English and French champions home and away in their group games. The defeat against Leicester was therefore followed by an away game in Montpellier. Against all expectations, and inspired by the arrival of master-tactician fly-half Owen Williams after the break-up of Worcester Warriors, the Ospreys beat Montpellier. That was followed by a win over Montpellier at home, and a titanic victory away at Leicester, which secured their place in the round of 16. Results elsewhere meant that they missed out on home advantage, and were ultimately not able to get past Saracens, bowing out of the competition at the round of 16 stage, but not without achieving some of the best results in Welsh regional rugby in years along the way.
In January 2024, the Ospreys management have stated they are looking at options for moving to a new ground. It will be a rugby home, suited to rugby supporters and not a shared football stadium like the Swansea.com.

In their first two seasons, the Ospreys shared their home games betweenSt Helen's (home ground ofSwansea RFC) andThe Gnoll (home ground ofNeath RFC). Since their third season in 2005–06, they have played at the purpose-built 20,000 seatSwansea.com Stadium (originally the Liberty stadium) inLandore,Swansea, which is shared withSwansea City. The Swansea.com Stadium, with double the capacity of St Helen's, has seen a capacity crowd for the matches against international touristsAustralia 'A' team (1 November 2006[46]) and against local rivals theScarlets.[47] On 12 November 2010 the team played their first competitive fixture at theBrewery Field home ground ofBridgend Ravens in theAnglo-Welsh Cup.[48]
In July 2024, it was announced that the Ospreys would leave theSwansea.com Stadium after 20 years and return to play in the newly redevelopedSt Helen's Rugby and Cricket Ground. As part of the reconfiguration of the ground, it was also announced that the Swansea Cricket Club would leave the home they had occupied since 1875.[49][50] However, it was announced on 12 August 2025 that the Ospreys would play all of their home games at the Brewery Field for the 2025–26 season. This was done to allow redevelopment work to be completed at St Helen's, due to be completed by the start of the following season.[51]
From their foundation to the 2013–14 season, the Ospreys kit suppliers wereKooga. Between the seasons 2014–2017,BLK supplied the Ospreys kits.[52]Canterbury supplied the kits for the 2018–2021 seasons. Starting for the 2021/22 season, the Ospreys would form a kit partnership withUmbro.[53] This lasted until 2023 as in June of the same year, the Ospreys announced that they had signed a multi-year partnership with sportswear manufacturerMacron.[54]
