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. HYR has grown substantially by joining USA Rugby, the National Rugby Organization, and becoming one of the first State Based Rugby Organizations (SBRO) in 2009. As a functioning Level 3 SBRO, we have the added national support to provide ongoing training, development programs, grant opportunities and more in order for us to grow the game of rugby in Hawaii. New clubs can join today – island wide. They can 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, New Zealand and Europe.
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 SBRO o'hana.
