E Komo Mai

Hawaii Youth Rugby (HYR) was formed in October 2004 with the mission of increasing participation in rugby through a positive culture based upon honoring the game in a safe and fun environment. The organization has grown substantially and now has teams on the Big Island, Maui and Oahu who play in their own island competitions and come together annually for the Hawaii Youth Rugby Invitational Championship and the Hawaii State Championship events which showcase the growing standard of rugby across the islands and attract teams from the US mainland, Canada and New Zealand.

Since its inception "Creating a rugby o'hana in the spirit of aloha" has been HYR's motto and it is one which demonstrates our intent to fuse the best of Hawaii's strong community values with rugby's tradition of discipline, fair play and sportsmanship. New players and volunteers are always welcome so get in touch and become a part of the HYR o'hana.

National Guard Sponsorship

USA Rugby and The Hawaii Army National Guard officially announced the extension of its partnership agreement with the Hawaii Youth Rugby Association for the 2009 season.

Through the Rugby Kit Campaign, USA Rugby and the Hawaii Army National Guard have provided field equipment and uniforms to several qualified Hawaii rugby clubs. This gesture has afforded much of Hawaii’s youth an opportunity to participate and enjoy the sport of Rugby. More importantly, it has helped to establish the solid infrastructure and stability necessary for rugby to continue to grow throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

The National Guard partnership will build upon the foundation of rugby in the State of Hawaii, allowing players and coaches to become better in their sport and in their communities. This program will continue to create better leaders with the strength of character and mental toughness that embodies the values of the Hawaii Army National Guard, USA Rugby, and the Hawaii Youth Rugby Association.
