Leicester are the most successful English club since the introduction of league rugby in 1987, a record 9 times English champions - 3 more than either Bath or Wasps, the last of which was in 2010. Leicester have also appeared in a record seven successive Premiership finals since 2005.
The Tigers have never finished a league season below 6th position, and are one of only four teams never to have been relegated from the top division. Leicester are also the only English side to have qualified to play in every Heineken Cup in which English teams have participated, and are also the most successful English side in Europe; back-to-back champions in 2001 and 2002 and losing finalists in 1997, 2007 and 2009.
Premiership play-offs
In the last seven seasons Leicester have reached the final of the Premiership, finishing first in the regular season league table in 2004/05, second in 2005/06 and 2006/07, fourth in 2007/08 and first in 2008/09 and 2009/10. They lost their first two finals to London Wasps and Sale Sharks respectively. On 5 May 2007, Leicester defeated Bristol 26–14 to reach the Premiership play-off final for the third consecutive year, where they defeated Gloucester 44–16 at Twickenham to win their first ever title via the playoffs. On 18 May 2008, Leicester defeated Gloucester at Kingsholm to become the first team to win a Guinness Premiership semi-final playoff away from home. However this season also ended in defeat as London Wasps won their sixth title, fourth via the play-offs.
They won the 2008/09 final against London Irish, and the 2009/10 final against Saracens. The Tigers reached the 2010/11 final for a rematch with Saracens having again topped the table above them despite winning fewer games, however after a nailbiting finish which saw a a record breaking 7 minutes overtime played during which the Tigers went through 32 phases camped on the Saracens try line before conceding a penalty which awarded Saracens their revenge for the previous years defeat.
These seven consecutive finals is a record for consecutive appearances in a play-off final under the current format.
