Welcome to
The Rugby Club of Victoria
The home for lovers of Rugby in Victoria
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.
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.
To date we have invested over $100K in 12 different projects over the last 4 years, some of our highlights below!
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.
Some of the fantastic initiatives we've proudly supported to grow rugby in Victoria to date:
Come together to watch a game, talk rugby till your cauliflower ears drop off & enjoy the company of rugby loving people!
You can also tune into our podcasts at anytime here!
