Rugby São Carlos, is a Brazilian rugby team based in São Carlos, established in 2000.

History

[edit]

The first rugby team in São Carlos appeared in 1990, where some foreign fans of the sport arrived in the city. Finding new partners, they formed the first team called São Carlos Rugby Club. However, over the years interest fell and this team ceased to exist in the mid-1990s.

In 2000, after the arrival of André Felipe Rudge Barbosa (aka Cachorrão), and support of the Academic Sports of the University of São Paulo, a new team now called the Rugby São Carlos was established. The club has won the Campeonato Paulista do Interior, also known as Caipirão (state league) in 2006. The Rugby São Carlos also contests rugby sevens and beach rugby tournaments.
