Welcome to MIT Women’s Rugby! We are a club sport at MIT open to all MIT affiliates (undergraduate & graduate students, postdocs, staff, alumni, and spouses of any of the former) playing one of the best sports in the world, rugby.
Run, tackle, score tries, and then social with the other team afterwards. It’s a great way to have fun, meet people, and get some exercise!
We always need new players and no previous rugby/sports experience is required! There’s a position for every body type – no one is too big or too small to play. Most people who join don’t even know the rules when they start. We will teach you everything you need to know.
We play in the fall, spring and over IAP (our January term), but you’re welcome to play as much or as little as you like each year. We hope to see you on the pitch!
For the most up-to-date practice and game information, please check the Instagram page (@mitwomensrugby). We generally practice MWF and our games are generally scheduled for Saturdays. Practice schedule will change in the winter when we move indoors.
If you want to join the team or if you are from another team and want to schedule a game/joint practice, please either DM us on Instagram or email wrugby-exec@mit.edu
Hello I am Cecilia Rios, I am a sophomore at Lane Tech highschool in Chicago Illinois. I am on the rugby team and I was looking into your rugby program. It began to make me wonder if you had scholarships for rugby.

Hi Cecilia! Unfortunately, MIT does not offer athletic scholarships. If you are interested in playing and apply to MIT, definitely make that note in your application!
