ABOUT THE
FOUNDATION
More than just a sport, it's a community.
The MWRDF wasn't born on a field, but in the hearts of those who saw the transformative power of rugby. Founded in 1996, we're not just about scoring tries and trophies; we're about building a legacy of inclusivity, excellence, and passion for the sport in the Greater Cincinnati region and beyond.
Imagine: Youth discovering the thrill of teamwork, high schoolers tackling their dreams, college athletes fueled by ambition and opportunity. That's what the MWRDF fuels. We're the wind beneath their wings, the scrum pushing them forward, the cheers echoing their determination.
