Boston Ironsides Rugby Football Club is a rugby union football club based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Ironsides play in the New England Rugby Football Union as a Division 4 Men's Team; retaining around 40-60 members (players and supporters) each season.
The Boston Ironsides are affiliated with World Rugby, based in Dublin, Ireland. They are sanctioned by USA Rugby, the governing body for the sport of rugby in the United States. Their Geographical Union is NERFU, the New England Rugby Football Union.
The Ironsides represent Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Hampshire as
New England's only competitive and fully accredited member of the International Gay Rugby
Association and Board, or IGRAB, headquartered in London, England. IGRAB is an organization
that promotes rugby as an inclusive, non-‐discriminatory sport which everyone can play,
regardless of sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, politicalbeliefs, athletic ability, age, physical challenge, mental challenge, or health status. IGRAB organizes the biennial Mark Kendall Bingham Memorial Tournament, popularly known as the Bingham Cup, the Rugby World Cup for gay and gay-friendly teams.
The Bingham Cup is named for Mark Bingham, an openly gay rugger and one of the heroes
who gave their lives to thwart the terrorist hijackers of United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. Since then, the exponential rise of IGRAB in the United States has made
rugby the nation's fastest-growing sport in recent years.
As one of the original members of IGRAB the Ironsides are proud to be a part of this legacy.
