Play Rugby Union this season with Melbourne Rugby

Do you love your Rugby Union? Do you live in Melbourne Australia? Are you aged over six years (we have people playing in their forties!)?

Then come an play rugby for Melbourne Rugby Club. Melbourne Rugby Union Football Club is one of the two oldest clubs in Victoria (the other being Melbourne University Rugby Football Club). Officially established in 1926, some 38 years after the first game of rugby was played in Victoria, under the 'Melbourne Rugby Union' banner.
The first rugby union games were played in Victoria were in 1888. Three games are recorded as being played that year:- one against an English touring team and two against a New Zealand Maoris side. All three resulted in losses - but the game they play in heaven had arrived in Victoria.

Melbourne Rugby has teams from Under 6's thru to 1st Grade, in the VRU (Victorian Rugby Union) premier division competition.
