Founded in 1972 by students, our team competes in the top Collegiate Rugby league in the country (D1A) in the Rocky Mountain West division. We find our success by building tight-knit cohesive teams that play with passion for the game and for their brotherhood. Over the past couple of years, we have travelled nationwide competing against fully funded varsity teams—your support will allow us to do this for years to come!
We have built our success off the foundation of those who have come before us—any and all alumni, parents, and donors who have given or supported over the years have allowed us to compete at the highest level in the country. We are so thankful to our strong community and supporters who give so generously to our club. The club is managed by players, coached by 100% volunteer coaches, with club expenses funded by player dues, a campus recreation fundraising match, and your incredible support.
All of your Giving Day support goes directly to the players on the team in the form of academic scholarships. The scholarship that you contribute to helps players lower their costs of attaining a high-quality education at UW and allow team leaders to build a team and culture that we hope is successful on the rugby pitch!
Here are some of our accomplishments fueled by your generous support in the past:
- National Championship runner-up in 2000
- Three National Final Four teams
- Eight National Sweet 16 teams
In 2016 and 2017, we represented the Rocky Mountain Conference at the College Rugby National Championships.
Our players have achieved the following:
- Five USA Eagles—players who have represented our country in international play
- Nineteen All-Americans
- Two players invited to Olympic Training Center in San Diego
Thank you so much for supporting our players as they strive to attain a college degree! Thank you for supporting UW's long tradition of Men's Rugby!
