Established in 1973, NMT Rugby Football Club has enjoyed over 4 decades of strong support from both the student body as well as the school and administration. Guided by professional coaches for more than 20 years, and despite the school's relatively small student population, NMT regularly "punches above its weight," competing, and often beating, rugby clubs from larger colleges and universities. 

Despite our student-athletes' rigorous class and research schedules, NMT Rugby nonetheless worked for and achieved several accolades over the course of the last few years, including:

  • 2022 - American College Rugby 15s Division III National Champions
  • 2022 - National Collegiate Rugby 7s Small College National Champtions
  • 2024 - National Collegiate Rugby 15s Pac-West Division III Runner Up (National Rank #9)

New Mexico Tech competes in the High Peaks division of National Collegiate Rugby

NMT Rugby practices and home matches are at the NMT Athetic Fields, and results for Men's and Women's Rugby matches are noted here:

NMT Rugby accepts all interested in playing this wonderful and rewarding sport.  No experience is necessary or expected.  For more information, contact Team President Niko Crosato or Head Coach Jason Oliphant. Interested NMT women can also contact Ladies Coach Milaan Van Wyk.
