About Us

The Atlanta Old White Rugby Football Club is committed to demonstrating leadership and excellence on and off the field with a recent D2 National Finals appearance and numerous South Championships in both 15s and 7s.

Atlanta Old White is one of the few clubs in the South to field Division II and Division III teams. Both sides regularly compete for league championships and national playoff berths. The Division III team exists as a competitive training side for new players and crossover athletes to learn the game.
