Founded in 1989, the Bayonne Rugby Football Club competes in Division II of the Met-NY Rugby Football Union. The Bombers have played in Division 3 from 1989 to 1999, Division 2 from 2000 to 2003, and in Division 1 from 2004 - 2007. We have played in Division 2 since 2008.

The Bombers were founded by a group of ex-college rugby players and ex-pats who were interested in continuing their passion for the game. While the names have changed over the year, the Club is still comprised of both international born players as well as American players from various sporting backgrounds.

Drawing mostly from Hoboken, Bayonne and Jersey City, NJ and surrounding towns, the Club boasts over 60 players from 12 nations. In addition to A, B and Old Boys Sides, the Club also fields a ‘7’s’ side each summer, competing in some of he top tournaments in the Northeast.

An active social schedule is highlighted by our annual spring tour where the Bombers have taken on the local sides in such destinations as Ireland, Bahamas, Bermuda, Grand Cayman, Tortola and Turks and Caicos.

Bayonne player contributions do not end on the field. Over the years we have organized events that have raised thousands of dollars each year for such charitable organizations as the American Cancer Society, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Bayonne Community Cancer Support Group, Toys for Tots, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation., and the Hoboken Homeless Shelter.
