Welcome to the Columbia University Men's Rugby Football Club's Website
CURFC is a competitive, intercollegiate rugby club open to all students of the university. During the fall we play in the Metropolitan New York Rugby Union at the DI level, of which we are the defending 2007 DI Champions. During the spring we play a number of exhibition games as well as tournaments, such as the Brawl on the Mall in Washington, DC and the Ivy League Tournament. The team also goes on national and international tours alternate spring breaks--our last being in 2008 to Argentina (several pictures are available in the Featured PIctures section). Columbia Rugby strives to be a presence both on and off campus, and has been featured on ABC's 20/20 and in Seventeen Magazine.
Practices are Tuesday 7:00-9:00pm and Thursday 8:30-10:30pm at Baker Field [For a map and directions to Baker, look under 'Home' menu.]. We leave campus as a team at 6:30pm on Tuesday and 8:00pm on Thursday from the sundial in the middle of campus, but try to be there 15 minutes early. During orientation week in the fall, we may be having preseason 2-a-day practices on campus to introduce new players to the team and the game.
No experience is necessary, and men of all sizes are welcome--there's a position for all body types on the pitch. If you'd like to join us or to find out when practices or games are scheduled, email our recruitment chair, Zach Bull (zmb2103@columbia.edu) and he'll set you up with the details. Also, you can check out the New Player Info section, under the menu heading 'Home,' for more information about the sport.
