About Us

WELCOME TO BEANTOWN RUGBY

Beantown Rugby Football Club was founded in the fall of 1976 and quickly established itself as one of the nation’s preeminent women’s rugby teams. We have earned a distinguished record at the National Championship Tournament; including placing top 5 in every appearance since 1980 except (1984-7th) and 6 National Championship titles.

Beantown RFC is Boston’s premier women’s rugby team and competes in three seasons throughout the year:

We welcome new players from all backgrounds and all levels of experience.  Beantown coaches and players come from around the country and from all walks of life –  what we share in common is an abiding love and respect for rugby. It is this love and respect that drive our relentless pursuit of excellence on the field and in the gym, in-season and off-season, and bonds us as teammates and as friends. 

We invite anyone to come join us for a practice. NO TRYOUTS NEEDED! All players interested in joining should contact recruiting@beantownrugby.com.

MISSION STATEMENT
We are committed to playing and fostering the highest level rugby in New England by developing players on an individual and team basis.  Our focus is on rugby-specific development alongside opportunities for personal growth.

BEANTOWN IN THE WPL
When the Women’s Premier League was created in 2009, Beantown was one of 8 teams throughout the country assembled to join the highest tier of women’s competition in the States. In 2010, we expanded the club by adding a Division III; finishing in first place in its inaugural season. Our Division III team moved to Division II in 2011 and competed alongside our WPL side at Nationals in 2012. This accomplishment led Rugby Magazine to name us Women’s Club of the Year. From 2014-2016, the club consolidated into one DI team; returning to the WPL in the fall of 2017. Our overall reputation as a successful club endures today in a sport that continues to grow in popularity among women, both at the college and club levels.
