Club Rugby (Men’s)

About Us

The Georgetown University Rugby Football Club (GURFC) was founded in 1967 to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to learn, play, and compete in rugby at Georgetown. The club has continued to build a strong tradition of success, highlighted by four consecutive conference championship titles. GURFC currently competes at the Division II level of National Collegiate Rugby in the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference. During the fall semester, the team competes in regional and national 15s tournaments, while the spring season focuses on 7s competition. With both A-side and B-side fixtures, GURFC offers meaningful playing opportunities for experienced players and newcomers alike. Whether you are looking to continue competing at a high level or are trying rugby for the first time, there is a place for you in the club.

How to Join

Anyone is welcome to join the club. Individuals are welcomed with open arms at practice and can attend all of our social events. No matter what skill level a person has, they will start on the B-side team, where they can develop with the help of other players and coaches. Over time, almost everyone makes it onto the A-side team. We practice inclusivity and love to see new faces out on the pitch to teach about the sport.

Time Commitment

GURFC practices twice a week for two hours on Cooper Field. Practices include stretching, skill development, and team training. While attendance is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to build chemistry, improve rugby abilities, and help the team compete at a high level.

Dues

Dues are approximately $75 per semester per person, which covers transportation, lodging, referee fees, insurance, and equipment.
