We need YOU!

Rugby is dealing with a nation-wide shortage of referees and administrators. If you've ever picked up a rugby ball before, we're now asking you to pick up a whistle!

Start by getting your L1 Referee Certification this September in NW Arkansas! Referees are needed across the spectrum of the sport, from youth, high school, college, and adult levels of play!

Grants for the course are available through your local GU as well as the ARF for interested Arkansans.

Get involved. Make a difference!

MEET THE INTERN

Hello everyone! I’m excited to manage the Arkansas Rugby Foundation website this summer. I started playing rugby in 2023 and quickly developed a passion for both the game and the community surrounding it. I currently play wing and flyhalf with the University of Arkansas Women’s Rugby Club team while studying Information Systems as a rising senior. Rugby has become one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience, and I’m excited to give back to a sport that has challenged me, connected me with incredible people, and shaped who I am both on and off the field.

The Foundation had our annual election last weekend! We're super excited for this leadership group and initiatives coming up in the near future!

Help Santa get the Rugby Hogs to the Cayman Islands this Spring!

We have a donor that will match $5K if we reach $8K!

All I want for Christmas is a plane ticket to the Cayman Islands!

The Rugby Hogs have received a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to the Cayman Islands and play a test match against the Cayman Islands Selects!

As a Club Sport, nearly everything the club does is self funded by student college athletes, their family, and unwavering alumni!

We ask you to please consider helping the Arkansas Men's Rugby Club make the trip to the Carribean this year. Tour opportunities are often rare, and this special group of young men deserve to experience an incredible rugby journey!

Jersey sponsorships are available as well!
