Our HISTORY
Since 1962, Penn State Rugby has been providing students with the opportunity to compete at the highest level, while building the skills needed to make them successful off the field. The Penn State Rugby Foundation was founded in Fall 2018 with 20 Founding Members. We believe that Penn State Rugby provides students with a competitive experience that helps them become better leaders and people, and we want that opportunity to be guaranteed to students forever.

“I would tell an incoming recruit who is considering playing rugby at Penn State that if you love the game of rugby, and want to come to a school where everyday you and your best mates work to become the best version of yourself on and off the field, that this is the only place to be.”
