Our Teams
Women
As the highest ranked Women's Premier League (WPL) team on the East Coast, NYRC is proud to field both WPL and Developmental teams during the Fall and the Spring. With competitive teams in the Spring, Summer, and Fall, we are always playing rugby and would love to have you join us!
Men
Whether you are new to the city, an experienced rugby player or never played before and interested in the sport, there is a spot for you on our team. New York Rugby Men field three competitive teams through the fall and spring season with training facilities in the heart of the city.
High School
We love to play! Rugby has a position for all body types. We have fun, we learn how to get back up after a tackle. We learn ways to support team mates. We find ways to keep moving forward. We use our individual super powers to help the team.
