Lehigh Valley Rugby Club

Overview

The Lehigh Valley Rugby Football Club is a non-profit corporation founded in 1998, located in Bethlehem, PA. Their club represents men’s, women’s, high school, and youth rugby in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas.

The Hooligans have taken the initiative of organizing a youth rugby program to ensure the spirit of rugby will grow throughout the Lehigh Valley area for generations to come. First, the Lehigh Valley Jokers were created; which currently offers youth rugby to children K-5 during the Spring and Summer. Most recently, they've begun the process of developing a High School team that will participate in Fall 7s and Spring 15s competitions via Rugby Pennsylvania.

The Men’s & Women’s teams are full members of the Eastern Pennsylvania Rugby Union (EPRU) and USA Rugby’s Mid-Atlantic Conference (MAC). As such, each team is eligible to compete in all national qualifying matches. Along with the traditional 15s Fall and Spring seasons, the LVRFC also host and participate in Summer 7s tournaments!
