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
