Our Mission

“The Austin Valkyries competitive rugby club represents a diverse group of players and supporters. We are dedicated to the development of our community, both on and off the field, by growing the sport and being united by our mutual values of inclusivity, accountability, commitment, and empowerment of participants. We strive to foster an environment where all people of any race, gender, sexuality, religion, and class are welcome and safe.”


Founded in 1991, the Austin Valkyries are one of the longest-standing women’s rugby clubs in Texas. The team was established to provide a competitive space for women and gender expansive people to compete in high-level rugby while fostering a strong sense of community and sportsmanship.

We are here and we are for everyone!
