WE’RE WESTMOUNT RUGBY CLUB!
Based in Montreal, The Westmount Rugby Club has a proud tradition on the rugby pitch dating back to 1876, making us the oldest active rugby club in North America. We have a growing rugby program for men, women, and juniors. We have two men's teams playing in the Rugby Quebec’s first Division (First, and Reserves teams). Our amazing Women's team is playing in Rugby Quebec’s third division. We also offer a Junior program during the Summer for the 6 to 17 years old, no-contact option.
Throughout the year, we maintain a highly active club life. We are always looking for new players, men, women, and juniors. No prior experience needed!

A LONG CLUB HISTORY
Despite McGill University having a team in 1874, Westmount, which claims to have been established between 1876 and 1878, also claims to be the oldest independent (as opposed to college-affiliated) rugby club in North America. The club later became associated with the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (known as the M.A.A.).
In the 1930s, the Rugby Club split from the MAA, and changed its name to the Montreal Scottish RFC, and had a Scottish-only player policy. In the 1950s this policy resulted in the creation of two new teams of non-Scots in Montreal: the Montreal Wanderers RFC, and the Montreal Barbarians. Soon after, the club opened its memberships to non-Scots.
By the 1970s, the team had moved to Westmount, and had changed its name to the Westmount Rugby Club, officially incorporated in 1976.
