It’s time to hit the pitch! Here is your men’s 2026/2027 match schedule. The first home game for the men is September 19, make sure you mark it in your calendars!

Coming off a championship win and a growth in players joining the team, the Kelowna Crows will continue to have two teams. However, there’s been a move from Division 2 to Division 1. We look forward to competing at both levels of Div 1 and Div 3, and anticipate an amazing season for us!

It’s the best time of the year; rugby season has started again! Here is your women’s 2026/2027 match schedule. The first home game for the women is September 19, make sure you mark it in your calendars!

With the success of last season’s championship and the increase in team size, the women are moving up to Division 1. We’re excited for the growth and a great year of rugby ahead!

Save August 22nd in your calendar for our annual fundraiser to support youth rugby, the Ensign Cup!

The Ensign Cup is in honour of Rusty Ensign. After an injury sustained representing the Crows left him a high-functioning quadriplegic in 1984, Rusty initiated what became the Ensign Cup, which has raised tens of thousands for spinal cord research, the Rick Hansen Foundation, and local youth rugby.

We’ll be hosting at Rutland Fields R2 (right beside the BMX track). The day starts at 11:30 am for a friendly family game of touch rugby; all are welcome to join! Followed by the under 30s vs over 30s game at 12:30 pm, which will determine the winner of this year’s Ensign Cup.

The beer garden will be open at 11am so come on out for a great day of rugby and join us in memory of Rusty! All proceeds from the beer garden will go towards youth rugby, which meant so much to him 💙❤️

The championship-winning Kelowna Crows are back for another season, and we want YOU to join us! Whether you’re a seasoned vet or a complete rookie new to rugby, we welcome all skill levels! Get fit, make friends, and be part of an uplifting community club 😊

Practices will be held Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8pm at R2 Rutland Fields (right beside the BMX track).

Senior men’s training starts on July 30th. Senior women’s training starts on August 11th.

Can’t wait to see you on the pitch!

The year end banquet felt extra special this year, after a very successful season with two championships, celebrations were needed! We celebrated the amazing achievements all three teams have made this season, honoured our coaches for their hard work and cherished the memories we had as Crows these past ten months.
