Rugby is for everyone

The Edmonton Rugby Union (ERU) is responsible for the administration and organization of club rugby in Edmonton and Northern Alberta. There are fifteen rugby clubs with a total of over 50 teams entered in various leagues throughout Alberta.

Traditionally, club rugby in Alberta is played from the first week of May and until mid-late September. Most clubs begin outdoor training in April and many clubs train Indoors starting in January. Indoor training is a great way to learn the game if you are new!

Rugby is played and enjoyed by people of all ages, ability and skill levels. Whether you want to play competitively here in Alberta, have aspirations to play professionally or internationally, want to play for fun, or are new to the game – there is an opportunity for you to get involved!

The ERU proudly upholds the World Rugby Playing Charter and World Rugby values of Integrity, Passion, Solidarity, Discipline, and Respect. We stand by these core values and live them daily. These values enable all participants to immediately understand the character of the games and what makes rugby so distinctive as a sport that is played by people of all shapes and sizes.
