The Assassins are a Rugby Football Club from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and have been a member of the Manitoba Rugby Union since 1967. We are a tight-knit club that embodies camaraderie and unity and strive to field competitive rugby teams at all levels. The club currently fields one Senior Women’s team, one Senior Men’s Premier Division team, and one Senior Men’s 2nd Division team. It has been a long time that our Men’s and Women’s teams have practiced together, which fosters greater numbers, and provides the club a more supportive environment for all. This unique style of practice is not for all teams, but our members wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our Premier Men’s team won the coveted Patrons Challenge Cup for senior competition in 1970, 1976, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2021. Our Women’s team won the provincial championship in 2006, 2008, 2012, and are on a streak with wins in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

The Assassins are committed to fostering and promoting rugby in Manitoba through community outreach and volunteer activities. The club stands behind the collective belief that rugby is a life-long sport and would like nothing more than to introduce young athletes around the province to a sport that provides competition and community. The Assassins are affiliated with multiple high school rugby programs and run three Rugby Canada Rookie rugby programs (ages 5-14) in Winnipeg.

Our Mantra is Toughness, Character and Tradition; derived from the type of player this club was built on. Our style of play reflects Toughness, our players show Character in the face of adversity and in support of each other, and we have had a long history of great players that have fit this mold, Tradition.

We are always open to anyone wishing to join the Assassins. Do you have what it takes?

New members are all welcome, regardless of rugby experience and sporting backgrounds. Want to be an Assassin? Contact us at recruitment@assassinsrugby.com
