The DC Revolution is a rugby club based in Washington, D.C.

We are a group of people united by a shared belief that rugby should be fun and accessible to everyone.

As of September 2019, we are an official member of USA Rugby’s Capital Rugby Union and compete in the women’s division 3.

Many of our players join without any prior rugby experience, and we encourage you to give rugby a try if you are new to the sport. Our players collectively played at every level of USA Club rugby, from Division III to the Women’s Premier League, as well as many levels of USA College rugby. Our dedication to building the rugby community and determination to make rugby fun for everyone binds us, and we hope to continue building the rugby community by providing a place where all rugby players are welcome.

Like rugby, we’ve grown fast.

The DC Revolution played its inaugural 15s season with a series of friendly matches in Fall 2019 but had to postpone its planned initial matrix match season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We finally played our first matrix match season in Fall 2021-Spring 2022, finishing the year with only one true win and an official record of 3-5, counting forfeits. Our second season, 2022-2023, we finished the season with a winning record and completed the year by upsetting the team that represented our division at the Atlantic Super Regional, giving them their only loss of the year. In the recent 2023-2024 season, we finished as the second team in our division and made it to playoffs for the first time. This year, we finished the Fall 2024 season with our first ever undefeated season, and we are excited for Spring 2025 since we are not done yet! We aim to continue to grow ourselves, our team, our community, and our sport.

The DC Revolution Rugby Club Values

DC Revolution Rugby was founded to give players of all abilities an opportunity to make rugby an integral part of their lives, with the overarching belief that our primary objective in playing rugby should be having fun. 

Our club is guided by a set of values grounded in inclusivity, community, and trust.

 

Inclusivity

We believe in the importance of respecting and listening to all players, regardless of skill level. We recognize that our strength comes from diversity, open-mindedness and compassion for our teammates, and accept all players regardless of race, gender identity, sexuality, religion or ability.

 

Community

We started playing rugby for the sport itself, but stay for the camaraderie and sense of family it brings. We care about giving back to the rugby community and to the greater DC area.

 

Trust

Players can trust that the team’s leadership will listen to all members, regardless of skill or experience level, and that leadership will establish open communication and transparency in decision-making. In doing this, we foster mutual respect between leadership, players and supporters alike.
