Located in historic Richmond, Virginia, USA, the Richmond Lions R.F.C. is the area's competitive Men's Rugby Club (Division II). Established in 1963, the Lions offer quality rugby and a wide variety of social events throughout the year to athletes of all ages, experience, and backgrounds, and are one of only a few clubs in the country that own their own rugby pitch. New members are always welcome.

Summer Sevens Begins 5/1

Summer is here and that means Sevens Rugby. The Lions will begin training for their Summer 2012 campaign on 5/1 at 4101 Fitzhugh Ave at 6:30PM. Come on out and get a run in, we look to have the numbers to field several men's teams and a women's team in most tournaments so there should be plenty of playing time for those who can dedicate themselves this summer. Even if you don't want to compete in tournaments, Sevens practice is usually great exercise and good fun, come out and help our teams train.

Touch Resumes

After taking most of the spring off from touch we will resume our regular Sunday touch, 4/29 at 4101 Fitzhugh Ave starting at noon. We hope to have our newest recruits for the women's team out for a run around.

USA Rugby announces insurance with membership!

Finally, cheap, rugby specific medical insurance! USA rugby has reached a deal whereby all players are insured at matches, training sessions and travel to and from. The only thing you have to do is make sure your annual membership with USA Rugby is up to date. This is a great program and if lack of insurance is keeping you off the pitch you can rest easy. Go to USA Rugby's website for more details.

Women's Team

No rugby club is complete without a women's side, the Richmond Lions are working on developing our women's program.

Interested in Rugby?

Whether it be Youth, Women's, Men's, or Old Boys, we provide year round opportunities to all interested in playing rugby. Anytime is a good time to see what we're all about, come on out, you'll find a group of rugers who are eager to accept new players into the fold and spread one of the world's greatest games. We have a lot of fun both on and off the field and are always in need of eager athletes of all ages and abilities.

Richmond Lions Youth Rugby

In addition to the Sevens season, our club stays busy during the summer by running Youth Rugby. For over three years the Lions have been working hard to see our beloved sport grow locally. Try to pitch this to all of your friends, coworkers and family with kids between the ages of 5 and 18! Please send them to the Lions Youth Rugby Website and keep your eyes open for chances to volunteer and help out with this important project.
