Our History

Since its beginning in 1980, the Life University Rugby Club, in Atlanta, GA, has grown to be recognized as one of the United States’ premier teams. In only its second year of competition, Life was crowned as the national collegiate runner-up. In 1984, 1985, and 1986 the club was named National Graduate & Professional Schools Champion. In 1986 Life left the college division and entered premier club competition which features the country's best rugby clubs. During the period of regional championships Life Rugby advanced to the USA East Championships every season, winning the title in 1987 and 1994. In 1987 the club finished third in the nation and runner-up in 1994 with a record of 33-1. In 1997 Life became a charter member of the USA Rugby Super League. In the summer of 2000 Life claimed their first ever Super League National Championship. In 2002 Life re-joined USA Rugby’s Men's Division I and has gone to the Tournament of 16 every year, winning the Men's Division 1 title in the 2007-2008 season.
