The White Plains Rugby Football Club, the region’s premier rugby organization is pleased to announce the addition of White Plains Women’s Rugby to the club.
The metro NY area has a rich tradition of men’s and women’s rugby, but the Westchester area was without a women’s team until now. Rugby has grown rapidly across college campuses throughout the country and rugby players often continue to play with community teams after graduation. An excellent way to continue a healthy active lifestyle, rugby is one of the oldest organized community sports. Rugby easily incorporates many different body types and experience levels. It’s a great way to stay fit, be active, and build community.
This year, women and men’s rugby will be featured as a new sport in the Rio Olympics. WPRFC is looking forward to increased interest from athletes who are new to the game with an excellent coaching staff, experienced players, and a regional and national organizational structure complete with top-tier officials.
The White Plains Rugby Football Club, established in 1972, is part of a strong regional and national organization that promotes competitive athleticism, personal growth, and local community.

“It encourages us to be strong in a culture that tells us to be delicate. It teaches us how to improve the bodies we have, and not suffer for the bodies that society wants.” – Emory Women’s Rugby Club
