The club
Pelican Rugby Club is one of the oldest rugby clubs within the Tampa Bay Area. We pride our club on a strong rugby culture that epitomizes the true essence of camaraderie, resilience, and fierce determination. Every team member's heart has an unwavering respect for tradition and a deep appreciation for the values upheld by the rugby community. From the moment players step onto the field, the shared commitment to physicality, discipline, and sportsmanship binds them together. Home to two competitive men’s teams, an active following of social members and Old Boys, plus the development of our youth program, Pelican Rugby is at the forefront of Florida Rugby and your go-to club in St Petersburg and the greater Tampa Bay area.
As a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization we welcome any donations towards the club. Donations support the club and the game that we all love.
The Teams
Following the incredibly successful 22/23 season, Pelican Rugby is fielding two teams for the 23/24 season. The first XV competes in the Florida Rugby D2 league and the second XV competes in the Florida Rugby D3 league. Pelican Rugby Squad is made up of a diverse range of individuals, ranging in experience, age, and nationality.

About our sponsors
Pelican Rugby Club's sponsors play a pivotal role in its current success and future expansion. Their financial support ensures the club can afford training facilities, equipment, and coaching. Additionally, sponsors enhance the club's reputation, attracting top talent and growing its fan base. Their involvement also reinforces a sense of community and shared purpose, thereby shaping the club's unique and cherished culture. Without our sponsors, Pelican Rugby’s aspirations and community impact would be significantly limited.
