    Gonzaga fields three rugby teams - Varsity Purple, Varsity Black (developmental varsity team), and a Freshman/Sophomore team. Gonzaga Rugby's season begins in February and runs through May. Varsity Purple is one of the most successful rugby teams in the country for well over a decade, with the team winning its fifth National Championship in program history in 2023.
