Welcome to the official website of the Edina Rugby Football Team. Our club is entering its 14th year and is recognized as one of the first high school clubs in the state of Minnesota. In just that short period of time we have already built a tradition of success and camaraderie, with many faithful parent and player alumni.
Rugby is the second largest participation sport in the world behind soccer with 3 million participants worldwide, yet a minor sport in the USA with just over 50,000 participants. Rugby is known worldwide as a ruffian’s sport played by gentlemen. To that end, we stress teamwork, sportsmanship, respect for opponents and officials, responsibility and fun.
