our club
Who we are
Toronto Muddy York RFC is an inclusive rugby club based Toronto, Canada. As an inclusive club, we are open to all people regardless of experience, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, or disability.
Established in 2003 governed by our constitution, and we primarily compete against teams in the Toronto Rugby Union. We also travel for exhibition matches against other teams, and host our annual Beaver Bowl Tournament, when we invite other IGR (International Gay Rugby) and regional clubs to join us in Toronto over the Labour Day weekend.
Our name – Toronto Muddy York – is a tribute to the original name of our hometown. Our team colours – blue and yellow – come from both the City of Toronto’s coat of arms, and the Rugby School in Warwickshire, where the game was created in 1823. Blue symbolizes tradition, loyalty, unity, and strength; while yellow symbolizes success, athletic achievements and joy.
We welcome members of all skill levels, from absolute novice to seasoned player. Participants benefit from a rewarding game that is not only physically challenging, but also fosters a profound sense of camaraderie both on and off the pitch. Why not join us at our next practice to see for yourself? Get in touch with our recruitment coordinator to find out more.
