Wisconsin Women’s Rugby and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Women’s Rugby Club invite you to celebrate 39 years of rugby in Madison at the Alumni Day 2014 on Saturday, August 23 at the Wisconsin Rugby Sports Complex.

Founded as one women’s rugby team in 1975, the two teams have continued to grow and thrive on the competitive rugby pitch since their founding.

On Saturday, the UW Women’s active team will play a short, fun, and friendly match against any willing alumni at 11 a.m. Alumni and fans can stick around for the 12 p.m. kickoff of the Wisconsin Women vs. the Division 1 Chicago Women (an opponent from the beginning!). A picnic social will follow the games.

Please email the team at ww_rfc@yahoo.com to let us know you’re coming/playing or RSVP via the facebook event page.

And SAVE THE DATE for Saturday, August 29, 2015 when we’ll celebrate FORTY YEARS of Women’s Rugby for our teams! Our alumni events will always be the Saturday before Labor Day weekend moving forward. Hope to see you soon!
