Inclusive rugby in Sheffield

Founded in August 2017, Sheffield Vulcans RUFC is a very proud member of International Gay Rugby (IGR), and offers both Union (Contact) and Touch Rugby to our members.

​Originally set up by the Spirit of Rugby Campaign, our main aim is to give everyone the opportunity to learn and play rugby without fear of prejudice.

​Homophobia can be rife in sports clubs and this can put the LGBTQ+ community off from participating, but with the Sheffield Vulcans you can be assured of support and acceptance from day one!

​So what are you waiting for? Whatever your sexuality, gender, age or body type, there is a place for you on the field, and you can also develop skills, fitness, friendships and a love of this wonderful sport!
