Rugby at KU — WE ARE DIFFERENT     

HISTORY– The Jayhawks have a well-known tradition in rugby. The Jayhawks have fielded a fall and spring team since 1964. The Jayhawks and the Kansas City Rugby Club are the oldest clubs in the region.     

WINNING TRADITION – The Jayhawks finished 2022 as the DI-AA National Champion Runner-up. They have qualified for the National College Playoffs in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022 (2021 playoffs cancelled due to pandemic). The team has been one of the strongest in the region for most of its long history.     

BI-ANNUAL TOURS – The opportunity to go around the world on rugby tours is something unusual to the Jayhawks and should be a terrific reason for a KU student to play rugby. We have traveled internationally since 1977 and have former Jayhawk players in the countries we visit that assist in setting up the tours.     

KU STUDENT ABROAD PROGRAM – A student at KU can go abroad to a rugby-playing country and spend a semester or a year going to school there. KU is uniquely positioned to provide that to a college player. Foreign students also regularly come and play for the Jayhawks.
