Albany Law

The Albany Law Rugby Football Club is a proud Albany Law School tradition dating back to about 1984. Open to all students, the teams are student-run organizations that regularly compete against other colleges and universities. Whether one is an experienced player or has never set foot on the rugby pitch, all are welcome to learn and enjoy the game.

The teams play both a fall and spring season and host two annual tournaments: the Reunion weekend (Alumni Weekend) in the fall and the William M. Watkins Memorial Tournament in the spring. The Watkins tournament in the spring is the premier annual event for the teams, and is held in memory of the late Prof. Watkins who established the rugby tradition at Albany Law School.

The teams are also active in community service and work with the American Red Cross, the Ronald McDonald House, and other charities.
