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 is here!

The Lions continue their championship sevens program this summer with training sessions taking place at 4101 Fitzhugh Avenue Tuesdays and Thursdays (weather permitting). Training starts at 6:30PM with 30 minutes of warm-up touch, and then officially gets underway at 7PM. Be prepared for an hour of constant movement, lots of ball in hand and skills work. Get out and enjoy 'Olympic Rugby' first hand.

Fundraising and Amazon Affiliate Program

We are working on improving Richmond Rugby, and while progress often feels slow, we are getting to where we want to be. Of course this costs money and our new fundraising coordinator, Nate Sirota, has taken on the task of raising money for all of our affiliated groups (Richmond Lions, Lions Youth, Foundation, Old Boys, etc.).

One of Nate's great ideas is hooking up with Amazon as part of their affiliate program, where we get signficant money for each purchase IF you get there using one of our links. So when you do your holiday shopping on Amazong, please go there by clicking on the below banner!

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.
