The club was founded on 13 April 1927. On 7 May of that year, the first rugby match in Prague took place at Slavia, with Slavia Bratislava squaring off against Slavia Brno.

Slavia were the first winners of the Czechoslovak Championships, back in 1929. It turned out to be the start of a very successful period for them, winning five out of the first six championships.

The club has supplied a number of internationals over the years, among others Jan Macháček, one of arguably the two most well-known Czech rugby players (the other being Martin Jágr).
