Major League Rugby has announced that Rugby United New York will join the league on an exhibition schedule for the 2018 season. Co-owned by WWE Legend JBL, the Rugby United New York has joined MLR as an associate member and will play a full schedule for the 2019 season.
The team’s first home match, against Boston on Saturday, March 24, at 7 p.m. at Gaelic Park in the Bronx, is open to the public. The game will also serve as the annual FDNY vs. NYPD rugby match, in aid of the McNaughton-Engeldrum fund for the families of fallen personnel. Tickets are available at rugbyunitedny.com.
“Rugby’s values set it apart from other sports, and we have a duty to stand by these and make a meaningful impact in our communities,” JBL said.
