About Us
University of Notre Dame Women's Rugby was founded in the fall of 2009 at the Division II level. Since then, the club has drastically grown in size and performance, now competing at the Division I level as part of the Big 10. The team competes in 15s matches in the fall and 7s matches in the spring, attaining five National Playoffs appearances and five Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship appearances. The Irish host their home matches and spring 7s tournament at Stinson Rugby Field. All students from the tri-campus community of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's, and Holy Cross are eligible to join.

Our Vision
Notre Dame Women's Rugby celebrates the diversity of each individual, who, by contributing their uniqueness, enriches our team as a whole. Our time on the field is an honor, a symbol of our ability to overcome obstacles, and we embrace our failures as opportunities to grow both physically and mentally. Acclaiming our camaraderie and confidence in one another, we rise as one team and work together to accomplish aspirations greater than ourselves.
