We are a Division I club team at UConn and play in both semesters. Our official season takes place in the fall from the beginning of September till the beginning of November. We play teams all throughout New England in tournaments and regular season games. We practice during the week and our games usually fall on a Saturday. We also play a shorter season in the spring with indoor practices starting in February until we can go outside in March. We have a few games in the spring as well as the highlight of the year, a long weekend trip to Nashville, TN for Nashbash! Take a look at our "Schedule" Page for more details!

If interested in joining the team you can either find us at the Involvement Fair each semester or contact one of our Recruitment Chairs listed on our "Contact Us" page. There is no experience needed, just come join us at practice to see what it's all about! If you would like to prepare yourself however feel free to check out some of our helpful links listed on our "Links" Page.

UConn Women's Rugby is an excellent opportunity to get into, and stay in shape. The sport involves everything from agility and endurance to strength and teamwork. If you miss the days in high school of being on a team, but want to try something new this may be just what you need! Not only will our team give you the ability to strengthen physically, but it will give you the chance to make lasting friendships. Going to a large school can be difficult at times, but being on a close nit team such as this one will help you to make friends that will quickly turn into family.

Captain's Corner

Back Captain Emily Webster

Pack Captain Amy Brown

I think this year is the most excited I have ever been to play rugby in all my seasons at UConn. With the girls we have coming back and the new players we're looking to acquire, there's potential to do some great things this season. The shake-up of our conference and the changes in our regular season schedule give this team an opportunity to establish itself once again as a very successful program. The passion for the game is there, the will to learn is there, and the ability to put that together to win games is most definitely present. As a captain of this team, I look forward to pushing players to achieve things they've never achieved before. We will have to work hard in order to do that, we will have to have each other's backs on and off the field, and we will absolutely have a good time through all of this. We have the ability to win some games and everyone has the opportunity to play better rugby so now it will come down to execution. If you're reading this as someone interested in playing rugby for UConn, give it a shot; it might be one of the better choices you've ever made. -Emily I�ve been ready to play since our last game of the spring. We have a lot to prove to ourselves this season both as a result of the reliable starters we�ve lost and the changes to our conference. I think our determination and love of the game will go a long way in our efforts to advance. As a captain my biggest priorities this season will be improving our physical proficiency and understanding of the game. If we can refine our fitness level then I think conditioning combined with our scrappy style of play will go a long way in getting us to the playoffs. We have veterans with the know-how and new kids with bright-eyed enthusiasm and I cannot wait to see this team realize its potential. -Amy
