The New York Rugby Club is the oldest rugby club in the United States, and fields highly

competitive Division I Men's and Women's teams, U-19 Boy's and Girls teams, as well as a Master's side. The NYRC was founded to continue a tradition of excellence, sportsmanship and fun, on and off the field, that dates back to the formation of the NYRFC in 1929. We value our ties to a large alumni network as much as we strive to focus on the development of youth, high school, and collegiate rugby players in the greater New York metropolitan area. And always we work to develop our active players - numbering well over 100 men and women of all ages - and give all levels of players and fans the opportunity to enjoy the best of what the game can offer.
