The following season they reached a playoff match for the Heineken Cup against Saracens.
In 2005-2006 Worcester got to the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup when they came top of their pool. They were eventually knocked out of the competition in the semi-finals by Gloucester.

They won 30 out of 31 games to regain promotion to the Premiership.
