The Dallas Rugby Football Club was established in 1968, and is the premier USA Rugby Men’s Club in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Practice starts Tuesday 16th May 6:30pm at Lake Highlands fields, 1000 N Buckner Blvd, Dallas 75218 and will continue to run every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30pm throughout the season. The Reds will be submitting three overlapping sides; a D1 National Qualifier team, a D2 TOLA team and a D3 social team in tournaments throughout summer so their is plenty of room for newcomers and amateurs to the sport to join the Reds.
