WHO WE ARE

Blackyardigans RFC is a senior club rugby organization with both women's and men's teams. It is a touring club consisting of players who live across the United States and Canada. 

WHEN WE PLAY

We compete year-round in 2-3 tournaments/year. We do our best to plan our tours in different regions around the United States during different seasons for ease of access for our membership. 

MISSION & PURPOSE

Blackyardigans RFC is an international rugby organization founded by Black rugby players for Black rugby players to build community, highly competitive touring sides, and grow the sport of rugby within underrepresented communities.

History of the Club

Blackyardigans RFC was founded in 2021 and quickly established itself as a team you want to play for! The COVID-19 pandemic has had a lot of negative effects, but the creation of Blackyardigans Rugby is not one of them! Once a passing idea in a social group, the Blackyardigans entered their first tournament, Savannah Rugby's St. Paddy's Day Tournament in March 2022. Both women's and men's teams took the field in fresh kit and went home with an excitement for more tournaments. The women's team placed second in their division.
