Stadium Facts

The Stoop opened in 1963 and is named after Adrian Stoop, a former England international and one of Harlequins’ most influential figures. A major redevelopment in the late 2000s turned it into a modern all-seater stadium while keeping its intimate feel, coinciding with the club’s Premiership title wins in 2012 and 2021. Just a short walk from Twickenham Stadium, The Stoop remains Harlequins’ spiritual home and is known for one of the loudest atmospheres in English club rugby.
