The Burlington Rugby Football Club has established a long standing tradition of success evident in its club accomplishments. The BRFC was founded in the summer of 1978 and has played a Fall and Spring schedule against clubs from Montreal, New England and New York State since that time. Initially an outgrowth of the University of Vermont RFC, the members of the 2000 team still reflect the diversity of the 1978 squad.
Players come from the most varied of circumstances and athletic backgrounds.
Today, the roster has swelled with players from all over the country as well as overseas. Burlington Rugby enjoys a long standing reputation for touch, competitive matches and unparalleled celebration with touring sides from other countries. The BRFC has hosted teams from Ireland, England, Wales, Scotland, Canada, US Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. We have toured several times and the club has visited New Zealand, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. This success can be attributed to strong international coaching and player influence, a solid group of experienced veteran players and the continued addition and development of talented young players.
