About US

The Charlotte Barbarians Rugby Football Club was founded originally in Belmont, NC in 2007, but gradually made the move over to the surrounding major city of Charlotte, NC where it has called the city home since 2009. Originally touted as the “Premiere Social Club of the Carolinas”, the early Barbarians were about about 3 things- Growing the game of rugby, playing the game we love, and having a good time while doing it. Not much has changed since then, the Barbarians continue to progress in supplying those 3 basic principles to the Charlotte region through its fundraising, charitable donations, volunteer initiatives, and hosting great socials for other teams. Along with moving into the thriving and competitive Division 3 section of the Carolinas Geographic Rugby Union (CGRU) in 2011 the Barbarians have shown how to be exceptional players and people on and off the pitch. A well rounded and competitive atmosphere along with comradery and passion for the sport and our team help to set us apart from other clubs. Over the past few years we have seen progressed success on the pitch and have a Finals appearance, and 2 semi-final appearances since 2015 in the most competitive union in the Southeast, with higher sights set each year, a devoted player base, and great leadership, the Charlotte Barbarians are here to take on the Carolinas and beyond.
