The Castaway Wanderers Rugby Football Club is the product of the amalgamation of two rugby clubs, the Oak Bay Wanderers (founded 1912) and Castaway Rugby (founded 1965). The newly formed Castaway Wanderers RFC began play in 1990.[1]

The Oak Bay Wanderers won their first and only championship in the 1960 season. After the amalgamation, the Castaway Wanderers captured British Columbia championships in 2000, 2001, 2002, and most recently in 2011.
