Welcome to Tampa Bay "Krewe" Rugby!
DIII Florida Cup State Champions
The Bay Area Rugby Football Krewe is the most dynamic team in Florida, with both a Division II and Division III men's team(s), in addition to one of the state's only women's rugby teams. Krewe was founded in 1989 by 10 Tampa Bay area professionals who had previously been members of different novice to semi-professional level rugby teams. Krewe continutes to thrive on its founders' love for the game and their appreciation for the camaraderie that has developed amongst its team members, as well as its fans.
Through the years, Krewe has transcended from merely a Tampa-based social team to a highly competitive Division II contender in the U.S. and Florida Rugby Unions - drawing players and fans from as far away Manatee County and Pasco County. Recently, with only one loss, Krewe was ranked as a top team in the state and earned a seed in the prestigious Florida State Championship (finishing second overall).
The members of Krewe are very proud of the team's international and regional competition, as well as the many state championships it has won. Krewe members are equally proud of their team's team's commitment to volunteer work with numerous local charitable organizations and youth development programs.
