The Air Force Academy Rugby Program has a 55-year tradition of competing at the highest levels. The warrior ethos, honed by the academy and rugby program’s uniquely competitive and demanding environment, develops exceptional leaders who are prepared for any challenge they face in battle, business, or life. The highest strata in the Air Force have been well represented by rugby alumni including the first female four-star general in Air Force history.


With rugby now an Olympic sport and a women’s NCAA emerging sport, universities - including West Point and Annapolis - have promoted their rugby teams from club to intercollegiate-level sports enabled by substantial financial backing from parents, alumni, and other benefactors. Financially supporting the program enables continued development of tomorrow’s leaders and elevation of the game to compete at the highest levels.
