TWO TEAMS. ONE GOAL.
Founded in 2012, the Houston United Rugby Team (HURT) fields two teams in the Red River Rugby Conference (RRRC): HURT (D2) & HURT Henchmen (D4).
At the end of the 2017-18 season, HURT was the 6-time defending champions of the South Division in the RRRC D2 with an all-time record to 48-12-1 (including post-season). The “Henchmen” were founded later, in 2015, due to the growing size of the club, winning the South Division Championship that same season and two Wild-Cards (2016, 2017)
Since the COVID Pandemic, HURT (D2) have made the Texas State Play-offs in both the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, narrowly losing by a single point in the 2023 State D2 Semi-final.
As the Club recovers from the Pandemic and growth resumes, the HURT Henchmen will also make a come-back in the 2023-2024 season.
HURT & the Henchmen will continue to strive to be a powerhouse of Texas rugby in Houston.
This is RUGBY
No pads, no helmets. In an eighty-minute match with no timeouts, fifteen players per side collide in this bone crushing, black and blue bruising, adrenaline inducing game called rugby. In a world with super star athletes and million dollar contracts, club rugby players play only for pride. The camaraderie between teammates is like no other, the memories are unforgettable, and the next morning is unbearable. This is rugby.
This is H.U.R.T.
The Houston United Rugby Team has become one of the more successful clubs in the Houston and Texas. Currently in the Red River Rugby Conference D2 of Texas Rugby Union and the Henchmen also competing, HURT battles teams from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and even Arkansas. HURT strives to become one of the elite clubs in the greater Houston area. Devoid of politics, there is one simple standard: if you put in the work, you will play. HURT’s continued involvement in the community and philanthropic efforts makes it more then just a rugby team; we are a family. This is HURT. #23United
