Learn About Twin ports rfc

Twin Ports RFC was founded in March of 2025 to be an umbrella organization for multiple rugby teams in the Twin Ports area - Duluth, MN; Superior, WI; and the surrounding area. As a branch of the non-profit Duluth Rugby Boosters INC, our mission is to promote and grow the sport of rugby while fostering a strong sense of camaraderie, competition, and community. We’re working toward a future where rugby is a visible, vibrant part of the Twin Ports community - where people of all ages play, cheer, and connect through the game.

Our programs

We proudly operate gender-inclusive women’s and men’s senior [18+] rugby programs! These programs currently participate in Summer 7s & Fall XVs.

We are also rebuilding a comprehensive K-12 youth rugby program from the ashes NorthShore Youth Rugby. Our youth program will include K-5th Flag Rugby, 5th-6th Coed, 7th-8th Boys & Girls, and 9th-12th Boys & Girls teams. Serving not only the Twin Ports area but also the Two Harbors & Silver Bay area.

Whether you're picking up a rugby ball for the first time or returning after years away, you can find community and a love for the game with Twin Ports Rugby.
