Bringing Rugby to the youth of NE Wisconsin

The Northeast Wisconsin Rugby Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing and sustaining the sport of rugby across the region by supporting youth and  high school programs. A primary focus of the Foundation is the development of the NE WI Rugby Complex in Lawrence, Wisconsin, a dedicated facility designed to serve as a central hub for rugby activity and community engagement.

Through fundraising and strategic partnerships, the Foundation is working to establish high-quality pitches, training facilities, and spectator amenities to support year-round play, tournaments, and player development. The complex will provide a permanent home for regional teams, expand access to the sport, and create opportunities for hosting events that drive local economic impact. By investing in this shared facility, the Foundation aims to strengthen the rugby pathway, foster community pride, and ensure long-term growth of rugby in Northeast Wisconsin.


You do not have to be a former player.  If you love rugby and want to give kids an opportunity to play,  get involved!  Parents, rugby friends, anyone can get involved.
