New York Empire Rugby Club Registrations

National Rugby Premier League (NRPL) is launching its inaugural 2026 season, and New York has officially been selected as one of the founding teams. This open registration is your opportunity to compete for a roster spot and become part of a new pro-style rugby league built for elite athletes, discipline, and toughness.

No rugby experience is required. We are looking for football players, multi-sport athletes, track athletes, wrestlers, and competitors who are ready to learn, work, and represent the city. All positions are open, and every athlete will be evaluated on speed, strength, agility, discipline, and coachability.

Athletes will participate in:

• Combine-style testing

• Position drills

• Competitive reps
