History

Delhi Hurricanes Rugby Football Club was formed in July, 2004 and is affiliated with North India RFU, which is part of the Indian RFU.

Delhi Hurricanes have given 17 players to Indian National Team by now & hopefully at current pace, we will provide more & more players who could represent Indian Team in near future.

After winning Division II Trophy, at the Callaghan Cup in 2009, the Delhi Hurricanes are improving rapidly, they reached the 5th place in the All India 2010 and this year (2011), they lost against the winner of the competition in the semi-final, so we are currently ranked number 4.

On the 31st of July 2011, we inaugurated the first full-time dedicated rugby field in the country and the 1st Rugby Academy in India which started the 1st of October, 2011.

Delhi Hurricanes became ranked 1 in India in Rugby Sevens after winning the All India 7s that they host in the end of October 2011.
