Rugby Clube de Oeiras, commonly known as RCO, is a rugby team based in Oeiras, Portugal. They currently play in the Campeonato Nacional de Rugby II Divisão (the third division of the Portuguese National Championship). The senior team usually plays their home matches at the rugby complex at the Estádio Nacional (National Stadium). RCO's biggest sporting achievement came in the 2002/2003 season, when they were crowned champions of what was then the old format of the National Second Division B. As of January 2012 RCO holds first place in the qualifying group for the final stage of the Campeonato Nacional de Rugby II Divisão and currently holds first place in the Circuito Nacional de Emergentes; the national circuit for emerging teams in the sevens rugby variant.
