Hawaii Youth Rugby
HYR Teams
HYR started on the Big Island of Hawaii and it is there that it's more established teams are to be found. Waimea led the way followed by Kona and Hilo to form the basis of a competitive league. On the other islands Maui has started to put together a strong line up however it is Oahu and particulary the teams from Kahuku who have set the pace in inter island events.
