Rugby

The University of Notre Dame Men's Rugby Program competes at the highest level of collegiate rugby in the United States.

At Notre Dame Rugby, we are more than just a team; we are a brotherhood built on grit and perseverance. Since its founding in 1961 as one of the first collegiate rugby clubs in the Midwest, the Notre Dame Rugby Football Club has carried a legacy of toughness and tradition, beginning with a narrow victory over Wisconsin in the spring of 1962, the first club rugby match ever played in the region.

By investing in Notre Dame Rugby, you are fueling excellence in training, travel, and coaching that allow these young men to grow into leaders, not just athletes. Gifts from generous alumni and friends ensure we do not just compete, we thrive. Together, let's keep pushing the line forward.
