Since 1934, UCLA Rugby has been one of the most recognizable and successful collegiate rugby programs in the United States winning 3 National Championships, countless Southern California Titles and international victories over some of the rugby world’s finest Collegiate programs.
Currently competing in the PAC Rugby Conference of USA D1A Rugby, the Bruins have consistently made appearances in National Championship Tournaments in both XV’s and 7‘s Rugby. Most recently the Bruins were 1/4 Finalists in the Varsity Cup XV’s National Championship and runners-up in the Collegiate Rugby 7‘s Championship this past Spring.
Throughout our history our success on the field has been enhanced and matched by our success off the field as our program continues to graduate young men of the highest character. These players work hard in the classroom, on the training field and for each other and through the process of aiming for excellence will graduate with the tools required to become leaders in their own communities.
UCLA Rugby prides itself on being a pioneer and an ambassador for competitive college rugby in the United States. The program's rich history includes 3 National Championships countless Southern California Titles and victories over some of the rugby world’s finest Collegiate programs.
In addition to our team accomplishments, UCLA has produced 14 USA Eagles, countless All-Americans and the first ever USA Coach, Dennis Storer. Our international lineage continues today as current Head Coach Scott Stewart is a former Canadian International with 5 total World Cup appearances. Assistant Coach Scott Murray played for Scotland and appeared in 3 World Cups.
While the majority of the players in our current squad were born in the USA, there continues to be tremendous interest in our program from abroad and we are now getting a look at some of the finest Academy players from Europe, Asia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. This blend of domestic and international talent truly reflects the diversity of the general student population at UCLA and has helped UCLA Rugby continue to be one of the best programs in Collegiate Rugby.
Our athletes work hard day in and day out in an effort to reach their goal of competing for a National Championship each year, but the costs of staff, travel, nutrition and equipment can make it a difficult challenge for players to reach their athletic potential.
