Competitive Rugby
Our premier side is highly competitive and successful in the Empire Rugby Union play, qualifying for the national playoffs for 6 of the past 9 years, and in 2006 and 2007 winning the Greater Metropolitan New York Rugby Division I Championship. White Plains also fields a USA Rugby Division III developmental side that feeds the Division I side and offers players of all levels (younger players, developing players and Old Boys) an opportunity to play competitive rugby as they start their rugby careers or after their Division I days have passed. White Plains also fields one of the most competitive Old Boys sides in the nation, and is eager to start a women’s rugby program.
White Plains Rugby - Beyond the Pitch
While our primary mission as an organization since 1972 has been to promote the growth and development of the game of rugby football, to develop youth rugby and support local high school and college rugby programs, high-level competition is not all that this club is about. A first class rugby club is more than a sporting organization. It is more than a family. It is a family that reaches out and becomes an integral part of its local community. That is what you sign on for when you become a member of the White Plains Rugby Football Club. WPRFC has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charitable causes and gives back to the community through blood drives, ALS events, Wildlife-in-Crisis volunteer work and many other avenues. We are a large and competitive group of smart and talented people. With our partners and families we try to be a force for good, as well as good rugby.
