Undergraduate Men
Founded in 1938 Cornell Rugby has a storied history that the Big Red honor with their on field performance. In the past three years Cornell has won two New York State Championships and qualified for the NRU Final Four twice. With a reputation for joining intensity with disciplined finesse, CURFC has placed players to both top level men's clubs and collegiate all-star sides. In the Fall of 2007 the Faded Red Alumni dedicated two new pitches, and in 2007 the Big Red will look to earn a carry on in their winning ways.

Here at Cornell, rugby is played at a highly competitive club level. The Cornell Women's Rugby Football Club (CWRFC) is an undergraduate team made up of over 40 women. We come from varied backgrounds, have many body shapes and sizes, and share varying levels of commitment and experience; we all play for the love of the game.
The club fields Division I and II teams to accommodate players of every skill level, from novice to international-caliber athletes. To prepare for match competition, everyone trains together four days a week. Each team follows its own match schedule, traveling around New York State to compete against other schools. Our Division I team has captured 9 consecutive New York State Championships, progressed last fall to the Final Four of the Northeast Rugby Union playoffs, and last year was ranked #18 nationally. This year the Division II team captured the Championship title at the fall Beantown Women's Collegiate Rugby Tournament in Amherst, MA. Turnout was so high this season that we were able to field a second Division II team for several matches.
