The Canberra Royals Rugby Football Club is an Australian rugby union club, based in Canberra.
[edit] Club history
Canberra Royals has a proud tradition and identifies closely with the Royals Foundation Team of 1949. In fact, the current Patron of the Rugby Club, Keith Hawke, was a member of that original team.
Royals has produced over 20 international representatives including 7 Wallabies, 10 Wallaroos, and more than two dozen representatives Australia wide.
The Club has featured in 70 percent of all grand finals since the establishment of rugby in Canberra, and has won 16 First Grade Premierships. The women's team won all six premierships contested to date and was undefeated in 2000 and 2001.
Royals is renowned for its innovation and a number of its former players, coaches and managers have gone on to establish careers in the Brumbies (which is an acknowledged world class organisation) and with interstate and overseas rugby clubs.
