Founded on the field
The Florida State University Rugby Football Club has called Tallahassee home since the early 1970s. What began as a handful of students looking for a hard, fast game grew into a fixture of southeastern collegiate rugby — a club that has weathered five decades of seasons, tours, and traditions.
A program built by players
FSU Rugby has always been student-run. Captains and presidents passed the kit and the responsibility down through generations, and alumni stayed close — coaching, sponsoring tours, and showing up on the touchline year after year.
The club has competed across the Southeast and traveled internationally on tour, with rosters that have produced All-Americans, USA Rugby selections, and (more importantly) lifelong friendships.
Garnet, gold, and grit
The colors are FSU's, but the identity is the club's own. From scrappy 8 a.m. practices on the IM fields to the bigger-stage matches at the Rec SportsPlex, the through line has always been the same: show up, work hard, take care of your mates, and represent the school with pride.
