The Raleigh Rugby Football Club was founded in April of 1981. Since that time we have provided athletic and educational opportunities relating to rugby football for Triangle area residents on a local, national, and international level. We are registered as a non-profit corporation with the State of North Carolina and recognized as a tax-deductible charitable organization by the IRS.
In 1996 the club purchased 15.5 acres of red clay and pine trees, with the goal of developing a first-class rugby facility to include two full-size pitches and a clubhouse. August 2001 saw us begin play on a magnificent primary pitch complete with Bermuda sod and 60-foot tall posts. The second pitch followed shortly thereafter and plans are in the works for the clubhouse. With two all-weather pitches, the Raleigh RFC intends to host international and regional tournaments and select-side competitions on a regular basis.
Another milestone was passed in August 2002 with the addition of the Venom women's rugby team to complement the Vipers men's team. The Venom have brought a new level of enthusiasm and support for the club.
Spring 2007 saw the U-19 “Rattlesnakes” play their first season.
As one of the premier clubs in the Southeast, the Raleigh RFC competes in the Virginia Rugby Union and the Mid-Atlantic territorial union. With a playing membership of over 80 men and women, we are able to field competitive sides in Men's, Women's and Old Boy's divisions and consistently post winning records.
