Team Overview

The UCSD Men’s Rugby Team is a campus sports club and a registered United States of America Rugby Football Union team. We play in the Men’s Collegiate League, Division I of the Southern California Rugby Football Union and play against SDSU, USD, Arizona, Arizona State, UCSB, Long Beach State, UCLA, Cal Poly SLO, and the Claremont Colleges.

In addition to playing all those teams during our regular season, we have a rich preseason with several tournaments. Annually, UCSD hosts the “Kings of the City” tournament, where UCSD takes on USD, SD State, and Point Loma for bragging rights as the best team in San Diego. UCSD swept this tournament last year and is eager to defend the title this year.

Another preseason highlight is the annual alumni game, where the current UCSD starters take on the Triton greats of the past.

This year promises to be a good one. It is the 40th anniversary of the club, which was founded at UCSD in 1966. This year also shows a changing of the guard with new coach Brian Kennedy and veteran Scrum half Brady Ruebusch as captain.

We’re always looking for fresh talent. Come join and be a part of the on-the-field action as well as the rousing social scene that only the rugby team can offer.
