Founded 1984.

The Kutztown Rugby Football Club was founded in 1984, by a Kutztown student– Mr. Andrew Lewis. Lewis’ interest in the sport prompted him to buy a book on rugby, and along with the help of forty of his friends and fellow Kutztown students – he held the first rugby practice.

2009’s First Side

The 2009 Kutztown University Rugby Club first side is very unique. The Golden Bears blend a host of veterans with a core of very talented young players, crowned by a current USA Eagle 7’s player. This blend of youth and experience creates an explosive mixture of excitement. The team possesses a very high level of rugby skills and game-day savvy.

KU Fields a Young Team

“We’re excited about the win because we fielded a young team,” Kutztown head coach Gregg ‘Doc’ Jones told ARN.
