History

Rugby union in Hawaii was effectively established with the founding of the Hawaii Harlequins Club in 1964,[2][3] although occasional games had been played earlier in Hawaiian history as far back as 1884.[2][3]

The Harlequins staged annual invitational tournaments in the 1980s at Kapiolani Park,[4] that attracted teams from the around the Asia-Pacific, Australasia and North America which promoted the development of rugby in Hawaii.[5]

The original Hawaii Rugby Football Union was founded in 1975,[4] and they selected teams from 1976 onwards to make tours to the United States mainland as well as other rugby destinations including Australia and New Zealand.[2] Hawaii also played in the curtain raiser for the 1987 World Cup in New Zealand, defeating Rotorua.[4]

Hawaii Youth Rugby was founded as a non-profit organization in 2004 to build rugby programs for boys and girls and increase participation in rugby. It became a State Based Rugby Organization (SBRO) under the USA Rugby umbrella in 2009.[6]
