In the late 1920's rugby was played by Northern R.F.U., Southern R.F.U. and Imperial College of Agriculture. Due to a lack of rivalry and competition, a fourth club needed to be formed. Returning from the United Kingdom, Rene Leoutaud decided to form the "Caribbean Rugby Football Club". Joined by several members of Northern R.F.U. and other rugby enthusiasts, the club was founded in 1930 but it would be some time before "Caribs" real strength began to show. During the years of the war, Caribs and Northern players joined to form a team although both club remained separate. After the war, Caribs' strength grew while Northern declined to a hockey side.
As time passed on, more competition was needed and Caribs began putting out two teams, one called Caribs and the other Northern. Initially the two teams played under the same club, with one president and two captains, at that time the club had a list of eighty playing members and seventy non-playing members. In the sixties the club split once again and in 1963 the Northern Rugby Football club was reborn.
In the late 1970's Carib Brewery began to assist the club and in recognition of this the club's colors became yellow and blue. However the club returned to playing in red and white a few years later.
