Canterbury RFC was formed in 1929 and when the league system was introduced in 1987 the club was placed in London 3 South East. A series of relegations saw the club playing in Kent 2 by the start of the 1990s. However, the club managed to turn things around and was back at the top of the London leagues a decade later and by the middle of the 2000s the club was in National 3 South, now National League 2 South. The club was relegated to the new National 3 South, by now known as National League 3 London & SE but they immediately bounced back into National League 2 South, winning the Kent County Cup in the same season.
