NY City Americans History
 
The name  is inspired  after the great London teams - London Irish,London Scotish, London Welsh.   and also the Boston Irish

       NYCity  Americans has taken off in just about a year. We practice in Manhatten and  play all over the  NY City area.
        In the summer we play some union rugby and  rugby league  for RAIDERS combined  with the Upstate team and the regular Raiders.   International League players  welcome of course. 
      Any level athlete is welcome though some  of our players have  made USA dev. sides,  All-star area sides and  We have  close  ties  with USA national RUGBY LEAGUE Team . The  team/club  is  mainly made up of  everyday players that try to come when their schedule  allows . Family and  work  first of  course.

The idea to start a new city team started in 1998 but it took a long time to start because the first players  were spread all over NY.    From Long island and NYCity all the way north to Kingston.  Eventually we were able to get practices going in 2006 in NYCity but  it wasn't until Jan. 2008 that we really started recruiting full-time
 
The NYCity Americans Rugby club formed at the end of 2006  as an expansion of the Upstate team and has taken off to become its own force . Though for long trips and  far tournaments we combine with the upstate group to get good numbers  for the trips
