The Moravian Rugby Club has an interesting history. In the Spring of 1973, several Moravian students and a number of local players created the Moravian College Rugby Football Club. They were fully active for three seasons, the Spring of 1973, the Fall of '73, and the Spring of '74. They then disbanded.

Interest at Moravian College died out, but interest in the Lehigh Valley was just beginning. In 1974 the Bethlehem Hooligans RFC began playing rugby at the local fields. Around the same time the Allentown Blues Rugby RFC was forming as well. Years later these two long-standing and elite men's clubs merged. The descendants of the merger are now members of the Lehigh Valley Rugby Football Club. Through this series of steps the LVRFC was born out of the ashes of what was once the Moravian College Rugby Football Club.

Finally, in the fall of 2007 a Freshman on the Moravian campus began forming what is now the Moravian Rugby Club. With the help and support of the college community enough people participated to allow the club to be chartered on April 2nd, 2008. Poetically, with the help of the LVRFC, the Moravian Rugby Club is reborn and given the chance to play again for the LVRFC.

We realize that people come out for rugby with different individual goals - some are competitive, some are developmental, some are social. Fortunately, we are a club that  has a place for everyone, regardless of your goals, your experience or talent - even  regardless of your being able to commit full-time or part-time to the team. Overall, you will  find that rugby is a good way to get some exercise, develop new skills and challenge  yourself physically and mentally. In addition, it's a great sport that offers numerous  opportunities to meet new people and have a lot of fun!
