Welcome to

The Rugby Club of Victoria

The home for lovers of Rugby in Victoria

OUR STORY

Rugby is the world's most popular contact sport.

But in the birthplace of Aussie Rules, lovers of the game they play in heaven are well and truly outnumbered.

The Rugby Club of Victoria was founded to provide a home for rugby players, supporters and fans, a place where we can come together and share our love of the game.

We are independent of Rugby Victoria and Rugby Australia, we are actively involved with all organisations, including local rugby clubs, to help facilitate the growth and enjoyment of rugby in our state.

RUGBY FOR GOOD INITIATIVES

We raise funds and allocate them to the best ideas for growing rugby in Victoria. Club members meet annually to consider applications from the rugby community, with every member eligible to vote on what initiative to support, meaning we all play an active role in helping grow the game.

What's your big idea?

Donate to grow rugby

If you have an idea that needs money or resources - people, skills, introductions - contact us to discuss the application process. We are actively looking for ideas no matter how big or small! Preference is given to ideas with Statewide potential, we wouldn't usually support ideas of benefit to one club or school.
