Club Information

About Sale Sharks
Founded in 1861 as Sale Football Club, Sale Sharks are one of the oldest clubs in English rugby. The club adopted the Sharks name in 1999 and since 2012 has played at the CorpAcq Stadium in Barton-upon-Irwell, Salford, a ground shared with Salford Red Devils and with a capacity of around 12,000.
Sale won the European Challenge Cup in 2002 and 2005, then the Premiership title in 2005/06 with a 45–20 win over Leicester Tigers. The Sharks were Premiership runners-up in 2022/23 and have attracted international stars including Sébastien Chabal, Faf de Klerk and Tom Curry.
Today, Sale Sharks compete in Premiership Rugby. Many surrounding streets operate resident-only schemes on matchdays, so pre-booking with JustPark is the easiest way to secure a nearby space.
