Rugby Union (Women's)

We field teams 2 teams in BUCS, our 1XV competing in BUCS Midlands 1 and our 2XV competing in BUCS Midlands 3.  We cater for all abilities, from newcomers to the most experienced players. Many players who beginning playing rugby at university go on to compete within the 1st XV.

Women’s rugby has taken off in recent years, fuelled by the Red Roses’ 5 successive wins in the Six Nations. There’s no better time to get involved than now. Rugby is an inclusive sport so regardless of your shape, size, experience, or skill there’s a place for you within NTU Women’s Rugby. "

Last season we won the BUCS national trophy, became Midlands Tier 1 league champions, and were titled Nottingham Varsity Champions 22/23.

Off the pitch, we host regular socials providing a great way to make friends and fully immerse into university life. Previously we have hosted weekly themed socials, race days and trips to watch Premiership and Championship rugby matches.

How to get involved

We will be hosting a taster session during freshers’ week but prospective players are welcome to any of our training sessions throughout the season.

We train on Monday evenings at West Bridgford Rugby Club, which is well connected via Nottingham City Transport from the city centre. We also get access to weekly strength and conditioning sessions hosted by NTU Sport and BUCS players can access Physiotherapy at a discounted rate.

On Wednesday afternoons both teams have their BUCS fixtures (transport provided).

Membership costs £124 for freshers and £99 for returners. Memberships purchased at any point during the academic year are only valid until the end of term 3.

Gum shields and boots will be required throughout the season and NTU rugby shorts and socks can be bought at the Clifton Sports Hub. Playing tops are provided each game.
