Celebrating 50 Years of Harrisburg Rugby

Founded in the fall of 1969, Harrisburg Rugby (Football) Club has been growing the game of rugby in the Central Pennsylvania region for 50 years!

50 years later, big things are happening in our rugby family. Our women’s team continued to dominate the competition leading to the DII National Championship match this year. Our men’s team made a run for DIII playoffs just 1 year ago. West Shore United boys won the 2019 Rugby Pennsylvania Spring State Championship. West Shore United girls won the 2019 Rugby Pennsylvania State Championship. We are currently working on building our dream rugby complex in Londonderry Township. Harrisburg Rugby is operating full steam ahead!

We invite you to join us on Saturday, September 21, 2019 as we celebrate 50 years of Harrisburg Rugby at our Anniversary Gala Dinner. Tickets are available for purchase now by CLICKING HERE!

Harrisburg Rugby Club Breaks Ground on Future Home

On Friday, November 30, 2018, Harrisburg Rugby Football Club, in conjunction with Londonderry Township in Dauphin County, PA, has broken ground to begin construction of Perseverance Field, the future home of the Harrisburg Rugby Football Club.

We want to send to you a brief update on our field status, as this a momentous occasion for the rugby community within the Eastern Pennsylvania Rugby Union. These types of facilities will help to secure field space for various events and opportunities that are going to help grow the game of rugby at various levels of the game – high school, collegiate, club, 7s. There will be three fields, one international size, that will be unlike any other field set up within our region. The fields should be ready for the 2020 competition cycle, but we will issue further releases to keep you updated on field availability.

The Harrisburg Rugby Football Club was founded in 1969 and is approaching its 50 year anniversary. The men and women of Harrisburg Rugby Football Club invest in the Central Pennsylvania region by providing support for community development through recreational activities; to encourage and promote the ethos of camaraderie, discipline, and respect to other underserved entities. Growth and development of the rugby community is our goal.

If you wish to contribute to the further development of the field complex, you may make a donation through this GoFundMe website!

For additional information, please contact Jeffrey Cook, Chair of the Harrisburg Rugby Football Club or Julie George, Futures Committee.

HRFC Pink Out

We hope this event will continue to build positive and meaningful community ties in the local Harrisburg area.
