We welcome all levels of experience!

Since 2005, our club strives to promote participation in rugby by traditionally underrepresented groups, including gay/bi men and trans people. We provide an inclusive environment in which members of diverse communities can learn the laws and practice of rugby and have the opportunity to compete at local, regional, national and international venues. Mayhem Rugby develops the sport of rugby for all regardless of their age, gender, or sexuality to reduce barriers and create a more inclusive sport for all.

Mayhem Rugby is a member of International Gay Rugby. We primarily play rugby with other members of IGR and local non-IGR teams. We compete in the biennial Mark Kendall Bingham Memorial Tournament, or Bingham Cup. Minneapolis hosted the Bingham Cup in 2010. In 2024, the Bingham Cup took place in Rome. In 2026, the next Bingham Cup will take place in Brisbane, Australia.

We practice twice weekly from April to October. No prior rugby or sport experience is required to join us.
We gladly welcome beginners! Contact us for more info.

Minneapolis Mayhem Rugby Football Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a member of the Minnesota Rugby Union.
