About Us
Founded in 2000, Georgetown University Women’s Rugby Club (GUWRFC) is a competitive and inclusive program that welcomes players of all experience levels, from seasoned athletes to those brand new to the sport. Over its history, the club has captured four Potomac Rugby Union (PRU) championships, earned three appearances in the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union tournament, and advanced to the National Sweet 16. GUWRFC fosters a passionate, supportive community built on respect, camaraderie, and personal growth. The team provides a fun yet competitive environment where members are challenged to develop as athletes, leaders, and teammates while helping grow the game of rugby.
How to Join
The club welcomes players of all experience levels, including those brand new to the sport. No experience is necessary, there are no tryouts, and new members are encouraged to join at any time. Any undergraduate student interested is welcome to come out to practice, meet the team, and learn the game in a supportive and inclusive environment. The club values openness, community, and teaching new players, and is always excited to see new faces on the pitch.
Time Commitment
Practices occur twice per week on campus, with each practice lasting approximately 90 minutes to two hours. While attendance is highly recommended, practices are designed to help members build skills, strengthen team chemistry, and grow together in preparation for competitive play. The club also participates in several games and tournaments throughout the semester.
Dues
Dues are approximately $40 per semester per person, which covers transportation, lodging, referee fees, insurance, and equipment.
Awards, Recognition, and Championships
The club has a strong tradition of competitive success, with several players having competed for national teams and in nationally ranked tournaments. In its first season with National Collegiate Rugby (NCR), the club earned a qualifying bid to compete at Nationals, reflecting the team’s growth, talent, and commitment to competing at a high level.
