• Leagues & Organizations

The current Northwest Indiana Rugby Club is a result of the merger between Illiana Rugby Club, which was an amateur Men’s (2002) and Women’s (2015) USA Rugby Club founded by a bunch of gung-ho Marines, and the Northwest Indiana Rugby Club founded in 1973 (as the Gary Rugby Club) by a bunch of steelworkers.
A Tradition of Team Spirit

We welcome members of all skill levels to come and play. The club was created to create a competitive and learning atmosphere for new and experienced ruggers alike.
