Double Heineken Cup champions Leicester Tigers have scooped a top award with Welford Road named Rugby Venue of the Year.
And the club picked up a win double at the Rugby Expo awards in London with the 'Tigers Family' campaign also selected as Marketing Innovation of 2012.
The Tigers, the 2001 and 2002 champions of Europe, clash with top Italian club Benetton Treviso in Rounds 3 and 4 next month as they challenge for automatic quarter-final qualification from Pool 2
Rugby Expo is the leading global conference and exhibition for both rugby codes and brings together representatives of unions, clubs, rights holders, brands, broadcasters, suppliers and innovators.
Leicester Tigers chief executive Simon Cohen said: "We're delighted that Leicester Tigers topped the judging panel's decisions in two categories.
"Welford Road is an iconic home of rugby. It is the biggest dedicated club rugby stadium in the country, with the biggest home crowds in the country, and we take huge pride in the number of world-class players who have played here either for Tigers or with visiting teams from across the UK, Europe and beyond.
"Welford Road is a stadium built exclusively for rugby, the players reach the pitch through the crowd, the crowd are close to the action on all four sides, they generate great noise from the stands and it all helps to produce a top-class rugby venue and occasion here.
"We've hosted matches against international teams five times in the last seven seasons as well as welcoming England Saxons and age-group sides in that time, and of course host big crowds in the Aviva Premiership and in Europe week in week out.
"It is entirely appropriate that the award as Rugby Venue of the Year has been presented in the same week that we welcomed an international touring side to play here and enjoyed a top-class fixture with the Maori All Blacks which will live long in the memory of the supporters."
