The University of Notre Dame Rugby Program is not an intercollegiate varsity team, and is entirely self-funded club, through student dues & fundraisers, as well as generous gifts and contributions from Irish Rugby Alumni & Friends. In order to compete at the highest level of collegiate rugby in America, provide the best possible student experience, and sustain the continued growth of the program, we need the support of the Notre Dame Rugby Family! In partnership with the University of Notre Dame Development Office, the program makes it easy for all of our supporters to make a tax-deductable gift to the University, 100% of which will go directly to the rugby program.
