Established in 2007
Brooklyn Rugby is the sole rugby union club representing the borough. We field two adult teams, Brooklyn Men’s Rugby and the Brooklyn Hyenas, as well as a growing youth program.
Brooklyn Hyenas compete at the Division 2 Women’s Level and Brooklyn Men’s competes at the Division 3 Men’s Level in the Empire Rugby Geographic Union (EGU).
