History
The University of New Mexico (UNM) Women’s Rugby team was
established in the year 2000 and has been a great representative for the state
of New Mexico. In the past 13 years, the
UNM Women’s Rugby team has qualified to participate in the United States
Western Division Playoffs 8 times.
Within the past 4 years the UNM Women’s rugby team qualified for the
United States Sweet Sixteen twice and qualified for the United States Final Four
once. The UNM rugby program has developed 6
All-American female rugby players, 10 United States Western All-Star players,
and the first Lobo rugby player to become a United States Women’s Eagle

The UNM women’s rugby team has recently joined the Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference (PMRC) and is a powerhouse of women’s rugby in the United States. On March 23, 2013, we defeated Arizona State University and UCLA to qualify for the USA Rugby Sweet Sixteen, located in Palo Alto, CA.
