Harlequin Ladies Football Club (Harlequin Ladies or Quins Ladies for short) is a London based English rugby union club. Their official home is split between the Twickenham Stoop, home of the Aviva Premiership team Harlequins and Old Isleworthians Rugby Football Club, their training and playing venue since the 2010/11 season.
Harlequin Ladies are an amateur club, and are completely independent of the professional Harlequins team. However, strong links are maintained with their famous counterparts. They share the same name, wear the famous Harlequin colours and club crest and often play at the Stoop.

And sunken barques that coast the shores of hell
And old men vacant of propriety
Have faintly rung a next-door neighbor’s bell.”
