Club Men's Rugby

Delaware Rugby returns to the field to compete in the rugby union against some of the best teams in the nation. The club consists of 50 players fielding both an A-side and a B-side and are currently ranked 20th in the country, playing in the D1AA conference as an independent team. Our goal is to rejoin the D1A Rugby East division and create a professional environment, providing a platform for Rugby student-athletes to not only advance their level of rugby, but to enhance their learning experience at UD and develop leadership qualities for life. This pathway will have our players aspire to play rugby at the National and Olympic level as well as learn to become leaders on and off the pitch. In the past, we have fielded All-Americans as well as U-20 USA players who have gone on to compete in games and tournaments all around the country and the world.

• You will need cleats, athletic attire, and a mouth piece.

Practice and Game Information

• We compete year round and play rugby union 15's in the fall and spring and add Rugby 7's in the spring, competing in the Collegiate Rugby Championships 7's Tournament broadcasted live on NBC.
