Founded in 2009, the St. Louis Crusaders are a USA Rugby and International Gay Rugby men's team dedicated to the promotion of equality and diversity in sports through rugby. We are proud to be a Division IV social team in the Mid-America GU. We welcome all men ages 18 and older regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, height, weight, build, and the level of fitness or experience.
The team has become an important staple in the St. Louis and LGBTQIA+ communities. A great deal of credit goes to all those who worked hard with us to build our community. The amount of gratitude we have for our sponsors and donors cannot be overstated. It is because of them that we are able to provide a safe environment for people to try rugby without fear of being judged.
