DARC first had a presence in women's rugby in the 1970s. After a new women's side formed in 1999, DARC and the Cincinnati Kelts joined forces to create the Cincinnati-Dayton Women's Side from summer 2000 to spring 2006. The team went on to win several Midwest Championships and make three National Invitational Championship appearances. Cincy-Dayton finally reached its goal to build separate women's teams within their respective clubs in summer of 2006 and DARC women began a new chapter with a new generation of players.
