Biało-Zielone Ladies Gdańsk is a rugby sevens based in Gdańsk, Poland. Formed in 2009, the club had strong links with the RC Lechia Gdańsk team, and the club itself was known as RC Ladies Lechia Gdańsk at the time of its formation. The ladies rugby club separated from the men's rugby club and the Lechia sports club and became known as Biało-Zielone (English: White-Green).

Since the club's creation it has always finished in the top three of the Polish Women's Rugby 7's Championships every year, and has won the competition each year since 2011. In 2013 the team at the time known as RC Mario Ladies Lechia Gdańsk hosted a rugby 7's tournament in Gdańsk called the Mario Cup 2013.[1][2]

Biało-Zielone Ladies Gdańsk are the most successful ladies rugby 7's team in Poland having won 11 of the 15 national championships (Biało-Zielone did not take part in the first two editions of the championships). The Championships are decided over a series of tournaments held throughout the year. Since their first championship winning season in 2011 Biało-Zielone have played in 70 tournaments winning 63 of them. The first five of the clubs Polish Championships came under the name RC Ladies Lechia Gdańsk, while the most recent six have been under the Biało-Zielone name.

Biało-Zielone have also won the Polish Cup five times, every time the competition has been competed including winning four years in succession between 2016–2019, and won the Rugby 7's beach rugby tournament three times between 2015 and 2017. In both the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons Biało-Zielone had unbeaten seasons while also winning the triple both seasons (winning the championship and both the Polish Cup and the Beach Rugby tournament in the same season). In September 2021 Biało-Zielone took part in the European Cup being held in Saint Petersburg, finishing runners-up, and only losing in the final to CSKA Moscow.[3]

It was announced in October 2021 that after 11 consecutive Polish league titles, the Biało-Zielone Gdańsk team was to join the Russian Rugby 7's league, and that the Biało-Zielone II team would continue to play in the Polish leagues.[4]
