Welcome

In August 2008 a diverse group of women, former rugby players and the newly interested alike, formed the first women’s rugby club of Central New York. Weekly we devote countless hours to practices, games, and community service events including Your Neighbors, the American Heart Run and Walk and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer to name a few. Already our team has shown its ability on the field by winning 1st place in the Fort Drum 10’s Rugby Tournament hosted by the Barracks Rangers, receiving an Honorable Mention of “Leading the Way” by the Great American Irish Fest Committee for organizing and hosting the G.A.I.F.’s first ever women’s rugby tournament, and obtaining a 3-1 winning record this past Fall season. Our goal is to make the Utica Hellbenders WRC an integral part of Central New York’s culture by providing the area with American’s #1 Growing Amateur sport.
