ONE CLUB. ONE CRASH.OUR STORY
BUILT IN COLUMBIA.
TESTED EVERYWHERE.
Columbia Rugby Football Club has represented South Carolina’s Midlands for more than five decades.
The Rhinos welcome experienced players, athletes moving over from other sports, and people who have never touched a rugby ball. What matters is a willingness to learn, compete, and show up for the player beside you.
In 2025, that standard carried Columbia to the Division III national championship. The club now competes with Division 2 and Division 4 sides, giving players room to develop and a path to high-level rugby.
