About Easts Rugby Canberra
More Than a Rugby Club
Founded in 1938, Easts Rugby Canberra has been a proud part of the Canberra rugby community for more than 85 years. Built on tradition, respect and a passion for rugby union, our club has grown into a welcoming home for players, coaches, volunteers, supporters and families from across the ACT.
Based at Griffith Oval in the heart of Canberra, Easts is more than a place to play rugby. We are a community where lifelong friendships are formed, players develop both on and off the field, and everyone is encouraged to contribute to the success of the club.
Whether you're pulling on the jersey for the first time, returning to the game after a break, or simply looking for a club to support, you'll find a place at Easts Rugby Canberra.
A Proud Rugby Tradition
For generations, Easts Rugby has been part of Canberra's rugby story. Since 1938, we've built a reputation for competitive rugby, strong club culture and developing players who embody the values of the game.
Our history is built on the commitment of thousands of players, coaches, committee members, volunteers and supporters who have helped shape the club into what it is today. While we're proud of our achievements, we're equally focused on creating the next chapter for future generations of Easts players.
