The University of Texas Men's and Women's Rugby Clubs are always looking for talented, hard working young rugby players to join our ranks. Are you a high school student considering UT? Are you a current student, or a potential transfer to UT? Are you a serious athlete that misses being part of a competitive sports program? We're looking for athletes that relish a challenge. If you fit the bill, then the UT Rugby Clubs might be for you.

Not sure what Rugby is? That's o.k. If you are willing to make the commitment, we'll teach you. Experience is helpful, but not a requirement. The USA Rugby Spectator's Guide can help you out with discovering more about our sport.

Rugby uses a variety of skills, some of which include passing, kicking, and running with the ball.

Practice is open to all UT undergraduate men and women. We hold practices at the UT IM Fields. Men practice Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00 - 9:00pm and on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00pm. The women's team practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00-8:00pm. Games are played on Saturday. Our players benefit from USA Rugby certified coaches and a professional medical staff, both doctors and trainers, on hand at practices and games.

At this time, the Rugby Club does not offer any scholarships; however, the University has many different types of scholarship opportunities available for its students. Go to TexasScholarships.org for more details.

There is also a Graduate Rugby Team that plays in the TRU Men's Division III for graduate students and others that do not meet our eligibility requirements. See our Player Info page for more on eligibility.

Are you and undergraduate student thinking of doing an exchange at the University of Texas at Austin? It's a good choice: the Times of London has ranked UT as one of the top 20 universities in the world. Every year, we have numerous overseas players join our club while doing their exchange. Players from Australia, Ireland, Scotland, England, Belgium, New Zealand, Argentina, France, Zimbabwe and South Africa have become international Longhorn ruggers.

Exchange students have enjoyed the quality rugby the club offers, in conjunction with university classes, enabling them to get the most out of their UT exchange experience. You will have the time of your life, make new friends and discover our University, the city of Austin and the state of Texas.
