History
The club was formed in early 2010 by three friends whose aim was to help establish rugby league in east Lancashire. The club were invited by Colne & Nelson RUFC to use their club as a base. Preliminary training commenced in early February 2010 with a view to things being officially launched in mid March. Widnes Vikings donated a kit to get the club off to a flying start.
After a 68-4 win in the semi, the Vikings moved on to the Grand Final against Ashton, the NW Counties Premier Division club.
East Lancashire Vikings secured a place at the highest level of the regional Summer Conference for 2011 with a place in the Premier Division. East Lancashire Vikings failed to complete the season in the North West Premier Division.
