The Pretoria Harlequins started life as the Civil Service Club, but when the membership needed to be extended beyond the Civil Service, it was decided in February 1906 to change the name to “The Harlequin Rugby Club” and to ask for permission to use the London Harlequins colours and name.

The Youth Club was established by Ossie Rusher in 1967. Harlequin Youth club was the first in South Africa and was known as a clinic, which made it the oldest Youth club, 42 years and still going strong.
