Tempe Rugby Club

Established 1980

The Tempe Rugby Club represents the best athletes, coaching, professionalism and hard nose play that championship amateur rugby has to offer. Tempe is well known throughout North America as a competitive, tenacious, organized, and well-coached Club, with a long history of success. Tempe is a grassroots Club comprised of a particularly diverse group of members, which embody a One Club / One Vision approach to its organizational vision, mission, values, and strategy.

Members of all ages hail from all corners of the globe, work in diverse sectors, and represent a broad spectrum of ethnic, socioeconomic, educational, religious, and athletic backgrounds. This broad level of diversity, coupled with the Club’s culture, has created a strong sense of trust, humility, support, and respect amongst its members both on- and off-the- field.

At a Club level, one of our primary objectives is to prepare our members to compete and to win championships at all levels.

The Sr. Men’s Team is a regular fixture on the Club National Championships circuit with five top four finishes including runners-up in 1996, 2003, 2014 and a first place finish in the 2016 National Championships.

Similarly, since joining the Tempe Rugby Club in 2009, the Sr. Women’s Team has appeared in the National Championships Sweet 16 on four occasions with an Elite 8 appearance in 2017.

At an individual member level, Men, Women, and Youth members aspire to the highest levels of state, regional, national, and international rugby including, but not limited to the USA’s High School All-Americans and USA’s Eagles.

The Tempe Rugby Club welcomes new athletes of all ages, shapes, sizes, and skill levels…no experience required. Please contact us for more information if you, or someone you know may be interested in playing rugby.
