One Pride. One Goal. Bring the Championships Home!

Tax deductible
It’s official: the Chicago Lions Men’s and Women’s Senior Rugby Teams are heading to the 2025 USA Rugby Club National Championships!

From the first kickoff to the final whistle, this season has been about commitment, grit, and heart. Now, both of our senior teams have earned their shot at National glory—and they’re doing it together, side by side.

Madison, WI | August 9–10
Men’s Team: 16th appearance in 18 years
Women’s Team: 2023 National Champions, back to claim the crown

The Chicago Lions have built a culture rooted in excellence, leadership, and unity since 1964. Our athletes embody these values every time they step on the pitch. But we can’t do this alone.

We’re raising $12,000 to help cover essential costs:

Team travel and accommodations

Game-day meals and recovery needs

Support to keep our athletes healthy and competitive

We’re calling on our Lions alumni, rugby family, fans, and supporters to help carry this legacy forward. Your contribution fuels more than a trip—it fuels dreams, pride, and the next generation of Lions.

Give now. Share widely. Show the world what this club stands for.

Let’s go to Nationals. Let’s bring it home.
