We are the UCLA Men’s Rugby Team. Since 1934, our club has been a home for rugby-loving students at UCLA. We have a rich history of results at the highest level of collegiate rugby, and a drive to push ourselves even further. Our team has always committed to being both an elite collegiate program, and a diverse student-oriented community. This November, for the first time in over 40 years, UCLA Rugby will be touring internationally! We are set to travel to England and Ireland on a 3 match tour to show the world what the Bruins are all about.
The tour will be taking place from November 22 to December 2nd, during which we will be playing the University of Bristol, Oxford University, and University College Dublin.
Our game on Nov 28th is a historic rematch between UCLA & Oxford. UCLA hosted Oxford last December for an unforgettable night on Wallis Annenberg Stadium with UCLA coming away victorious. This game shapes up as a fantastic rematch with Oxford hosting the Bruins on the famous Iffley Road Grounds on Oxfords campus. We would love to see our international Bruin fans at that match!
This fundraiser will help the UCLA Rugby family reach the heights we all know this amazing program is capable of. For us to achieve this, it's going to take a full team effort! That means we need you as well. All donations from this fundraising campaign will directly contribute to covering the cost of our tour!
During the establishment of UCLA Rugby, this program has been supported by generous contributions from families, alumni, and the UCLA community to keep it moving in the right direction. With your support, our goal to become 'trailblazers' and lead the Bruins to three victories on an international stage can become a reality.
Thank you for supporting the Bruin rugby family! For updates on the campaign, the season, and our team, follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

To my disappointment this morning, the value of the Great British Pound has yet again increased. Up 4 cents in the last 10 days! Your Tier 6 contribution fully funds one players tour expenses so that he can save up and have some spending money in the UK. Hopefully, he remembers to bring his family back a souvenir...
