100 of the Best Rugby Team Names

Published: 2022-01-20T16:34:15+0000 Author: Abby Helgeson

Rugby is one of the most popular sports in the world, with clubs located everywhere from United States weekend leagues to pros in Europe, the UK, India, and more. And there is nothing like a great rugby team name to intimidate or amuse the opposition before the first try or conversion goal.

But how do you choose a name? Well, here are some tips for choosing a name, and some ideas to get you started.

Choosing a Rugby Team Name

There’s a lot to be said about choosing a team name. You want something that relates to your team’s personality and strengths, but you also want something memorable and fun that looks good on a jersey )and a water cooler and all the other cool swag you can create). The process is quite similar to that of choosing a basketball team name, or a name for your friends’ group chat.

First, sit down and brainstorm some ideas. You can even start with the names listed below, and modify them to match your city or town, your neighborhood, or even the names of those on your team. Let your imagination run wild, and pick several possible names and combinations of each.

  • Find an association with something popular
  • Use things your team members have in common
  • Add adjectives to describe your team (Lethal Taggers, anyone?)
  • Use rugby terms and words related to rugby

Once you have your list, narrow it down to ten or less, and then let your teammates vote. You can even create a “naming tournament” where you vote things down to the top five, top three, final two (championship), and then let the voters decide. Then you can order swag for you and your fans even if they are just your friends and family). Who knows? You may come up with the next team name that goes viral.

Here are some rugby team name examples, some real, some we made up. Use this as a starting point to get your creative juices flowing.
