The club was founded in 1995 and after playing in regional leagues they were accepted into what was then the National League 2 or third national division of Rugby League in the UK for the 2003 season. It became known as the Championship 1 in 2009 and League One in 2016.
A feature of this league has been the changes in the number of participants. It's been as high as sixteen and as low as nine. In 2025 it will be eleven and then twelve in 2026. That's where the powers that be want it to settle but a lot can happen between now and then.
The London Skolars have been the longest continuously present club in this competition. Their presence hasn't been seismic in its success rate but nevertheless consistent. 2013 was the best year when the club finished fourth and made the preliminary final in the playoffs. That's a one game only semi final or coming third, just missing out on the grand final.
After that nothing of note until the Skolars club relegated itself after the 2023 season. They joined a regional league but didn't fulfill all their fixtures. Hopefully 2025 will bring an improved situation.
