About the MWRDF

More than just a sport, it's a community. More than just competition, it's growth. More than just a game, it's family.

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 (pun intended!), 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.

With unwavering commitment, we:

• Invest in the future: Every tackle, every try, every triumphant roar starts with a solid foundation. We provide grants and scholarships to ensure young players have access to top-notch facilities, skilled coaches, and the equipment they need to thrive.
• Build champions: From fledgling squads to seasoned teams, we offer financial support, training clinics, and leadership development programs. We want to see them not just dominate on the field, but become leaders in life.
• Fuel the flame: Rugby isn't just a sport; it's a community. We organize fundraising events, maintain an endowment fund, and accept donations to keep the spirit of rugby alive and burning bright.
• Build a strong foundation: We believe everyone deserves a welcoming space to celebrate the sport. That's why we advocate for and contribute to the expansion and improvement of rugby facilities across the region.
