The scrum reunites in
days
Six decades of grit, mud and brotherhood - and the next 60 start with all of us back together.
Iowa Rugby and the Iowa Rugby Foundation invite every alumnus, family member, and friend of the club to the 60th Anniversary Celebration Weekend. From our first scrum in 1966 to a #8 national ranking today, this is the story of a club built by the people who played for it.
“Stella Is Calling You Home” is our call to the pitch, the pub, and the people who made Iowa Rugby what it is. Come raise a glass to the legends, induct a new Hall of Fame class, and kick off the next era of Hawkeye rugby. Go Hawks.
