RAC RUGBY

The Rueil Athletic Club Rugby (RAC Rugby), which recently celebrated its half-century of existence, was created in 1958 by René HABANS

This creation was based on the establishment in the 1920s of a "rugby football" commission by Mr. Vigier, a former player of the XV de Paris. Since then, the management teams have continued to develop this section in a family and educational spirit while proudly supporting its senior team. Today this section brings together all categories from elves to veterans and recently women. With a membership of nearly 420, RAC Rugby, already recognized at the Hauts de Seine level, intends to play a leading role in Ile de France.
