Est. 1978

 
 

Founded in 1978, the Yale Women's Rugby Football Club is one of the oldest women's collegiate rugby teams in the nation. We are a competitive club team, playing against women's rugby teams in the New England Rugby Football Union's College Division I.

Yet the women’s rugby team at Yale is not simply a collegiate athletic organization; it is a family, a sisterhood of gutsy women whose strength and spirit shine — on and off the field. To learn more about becoming a member of the YWRFC tradition, check out our Rookie section.

As a club sport, the Yale Women’s Rugby team functions on a very modest budget with precious little funding from the University. Maintaining a collegiate rugby club  means paying for league registration, tournaments, referees, transportation and coaches. Making ends meet is always a challenge.

You can ensure that YWRFC stays around for decades to come by providing financial support for the team.
