Stanford Men's Rugby

Since 1906, men at Stanford have been stepping onto the rugby pitch—usually for the first time in their lives—and joining a brotherhood that has introduced them to an exhilarating game played throughout the world, forged them into elite athletes, and given them lifelong friends.

Rugby is a club sport, and no prior experience is required or expected. We've had great players with backgrounds in football, soccer, wrestling, track, martial arts, swimming, and many other sports. Even if you've never played any sport before, come on out! One of the beautiful things about rugby is that there's a spot on the field for people of every body type and level of ability. The only thing that's required is a willingness to learn.

Stanford Men's Rugby is proud of our amazing coaching staff, our world-class facilities, and our strong sense of camaraderie. We're also proud of our ability to welcome rookies onto the team, introduce them to the sport, show them the ropes, and help them become the best athletes they'll ever be. Come join the team and make us proud of you, too.
