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.

Famous quotes containing the words ladies, football and/or club:
“At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
