Boston Rugby

Sitemap

Originally founded in 1960, the Boston Rugby Football Club honors an over 40 year tradition of playing quality rugby in New England and nationally. The BRFC is proud of its past achievements and continually strives to maintain its preeminent status in the 100,000+-member USA Rugby Football Union.

In 1996, the coming together of two rugby forces in New England heralded the birth of a new rugby powerhouse in Boston. The Beacon Hill Rugby Club, formed in 1968 by several former BRFC players, and itself recognized on a national level, rejoined the BRFC to create today's strengthened club.

The focus of the Boston Rugby Football Club will be to achieve success in the National Club Championship. With the participation in the US Rugby Super League, a more elite dimension has been added to this amateur game. As a result, success in the Super League is also one of BRFC's priorities.

The Super League consists of two eight-team conferences. The BRFC will face competition from New York (2), Washington, D.C., Dallas, Charlotte, Wolfhounds and St. Louis. Representing the West will be teams from San Diego, Belmont Shore, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and Chicago (2).

BOSTON RUGBY SEVENS

Boston Rugby Football club also competes in the Sevens season, fielding a side at all the qualifier tournaments in the Northeast area. The goals are to be the premier side in the Northeast and to win a National Championship. With the commitment of a specialized sevens coach and participation of experienced sevens players BRFC has consistently proved to be a top side in the Northeast area. In 2008, BRFC took 7th in the country at the National 7s finals tournament.

BRFC is also very involed with the Youth of the Boston Community. We put on youth rugby clinics in the schools and have recently started a partnership with the Boston Boys and Girls Clubs.
