2026 marks 22 years of rugby at Yale.

Partnering with YGRFC connects your brand to one of the oldest and most storied athletic traditions in American university sport.

Our players are active on campus, in New Haven, and across alumni networks nationwide.

Your partnership shows up in the moments that matter — not just on a website.

Club Partners earn logo placement on our playing jerseys and kit bags — worn at every match, tournament, and alumni event across the full season.

06 Tailored Packages

Every partnership is built around what works for you.
