History
In 1998, Rugby Canada and the provincial unions agreed to form the Rugby Canada Super League. Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league.

In 2009, Rugby Canada decided to disband the RCSL and replace it with a new U-20 league called the Rugby Canada National Junior Championship. The Wave was chosen as one of the remaining RCSL clubs to enter the newly formed league.

In 2021, forming to represent the Vancouver Rugby Union but without players playing representing UBC Men's Rugby and Van East Rugby, who were from the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, the Vancouver Wave won the Inaugural Coastal Cup. The team went undefeated, winning six matches and losing none, defeating the Pacific Pride (rugby union) in the final match to seal the Grand Slam.
