Rugby

We offer the best rugby playing experience in Japan!
YC&AC’s rugby 1st XV have a rich history of bringing the game to Japan (both 15s and 7s), and hosting the YC&AC Japan Rugby Sevens tournament each April.
The rugby section also has a highly competitive (and equally sociable) Gents team, who play their matches during the October-April season.

Message from the convenor

The YC&AC Rugby Club offers rugby players in Japan an unrivalled opportunity to play friendly but highly competitive matches throughout the season at our own ground here in Yokohama. The social side of the game has always been a big part of YC&AC Rugby and we tour as much as possible throughout the world. It’s a fun club to be a part of and we offer a warm welcome to new players.
Contact us now to organize a visit!

Message from the captain

I have played rugby at the YC&AC for two years and have been Captain for one year and a half. Playing rugby at the YC&AC has been a remarkable and wonderful experience for me, a perfect way to round up the week with fellow skilled rugby players who are also a good laugh in the clubhouse after the match. We are always ready to welcome new players and encourage anyone to bring friends and family to watch the matches and enjoy the facilities post-match.
