USA Eagles Rugby Tickets

USA Eagles Rugby - World Cup regulars

America and rugby union might not initially appear like bedfellows however the nation has a rich history in the game, winning two gold medals in the 1920s and competing at nearly every single World Cup since 1987. Check out the team in action by purchasing your USA Eagles Rugby tickets at StubHub.

Two-time gold medal winners

USA played their first official international game in 1912 against Australia, and eight years later stunned the world when they beat France Rugby Union to win gold at the Games in Antwerp. They repeated the feat in 1924 but American's interest in the sport died when it was permanently removed from the Games line-up. However, the country started to embrace rugby union again in the 1960s, and after the Eagles were officially formed in 1976, they became regular oppositions for top international sides. In 1987 they competed in the sport's inaugural World Cup where they defeated Japan in their first game, and four years later they qualified again. In fact, the Eagles only missed out on the competition once over the next two decades, again beating Japan Rugby in 2003 and then Russia Rugby in 2011. The team won their first piece of silverware in nearly a century when they lifted the Americas Rugby Championship in 2017, and twelve months later successfully defended their crown.

A nomadic home team

Unlike most international rugby union sides, the USA Eagles choose to play their home games at various different stadiums, allowing fans all over the country the chance to watch them in action. Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium, New York's Red Bull Arena and San Jose's Avaya Stadium, all of which are homes to major league soccer teams, are just a few of the venues the Eagles have played in over the years. In a sign of the sport's increasing popularity, the Eagles have pulled in more than 20,000 fans on several occasions since they officially turned professional in 2016. But it's their fiercely contested games against Canada which undoubtedly creates the most intense and vibrant atmosphere. The two North American nations have competed against each other every year except one since 1977, regularly in key qualifiers and America's Rugby Championship fixtures.
