Share Your Old Rugby Photos with the Free Jacks to Celebrate 150 Years of Rugby in New England and a chance to win a free jacks jersey!
150 years ago the first ever rugby game on American soil was played at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Though the laws were fairly different over a century ago, the spirit of rugby has stayed the same and grown across the nation, forming the beautiful community we cherish today.Â
At the turn of the 20th century, rugby was famously played at prestigious universities across America. Many rugby clubs in the United States were established in the 1960s and onwards when the sport was revived by former collegiate players who longed for the game they loved.
The New England Free Jacks are excited to celebrate the Sesquicentennial milestone of American rugby. Our team is calling on the Free Jacks’ faithful to help us archive historical photos and documents that tell the story of rugby in the United States.
 If you have any photos or documents from the formative years of rugby clubs across New England and the United States, please feel free to submit them, along with a short caption, to the Free Jacks for a future article that will anthologize the history of American rugby.
By submitting your photo, you will be automatically entered into a competition to win a Free Jacks’ Home Jersey! The winning photo will be used as the thumbnail and at the top of the article.
