USAFA Women's Rugby

The Women’s Rugby Club is a USA Rugby Collegiate Rugby Association of America D1 team competing in the Rocky Mountain Rugby conference along with Colorado State University, University of Colorado, University of New Mexico, Montana State University, Utah State University, Utah Valley University, and the University of Wyoming. The team has a history of success at the national level, most recently coming in second in the Spring 2023 7s Nationals and 3rd in the Fall 2023 15s Nationals. The warrior ethos — honed by the Academy and rugby program’s uniquely competitive and demanding environment—develops exceptional leaders who are prepared for any challenge they face in battle, business, or life. Rugby alumni, including the first woman four-star general in Air Force history, have represented the highest strata in the Air Force.

With rugby now an Olympic sport and a women’s NCAA emerging sport, universities—including West Point and Annapolis—have promoted their rugby teams from club to intercollegiate-level sports, enabled by substantial financial backing from parents, alumni, and other benefactors. Financially supporting the program enables the continued development of tomorrow’s leaders and elevates the game to compete at the highest levels. Thank you for your continued support of this incredible team and the cadets who love this sport!
