60 YEARS OF BUCKEYE RUGBY
Three generations of Buckeyes. One weekend. Come back to the pitch.
The Buckeyes Reunite In
days
Six decades of Buckeye rugby, and the next 60 start with all of us in the same room.
Since the first scrum in 1966, Ohio State rugby has been built by the people who played for it. Players became coaches. Coaches became donors. Teammates became lifelong friends.
This October we bring every era back to Columbus to celebrate what was built, honor the people who built it, and fund the next generation of Buckeyes. Whether you played in 1972 or graduated last spring, there is a seat at this table for you. Go Buckeyes.

The lessons learned on the rugby field often last a lifetime. That's why Riegel Financial is especially proud to sponsor the Ohio State Men's Rugby Alumni Society Reunion Weekend, celebrating 60 years of OSURFC on October 16-17, 2026. For the Henry family, OSURFC holds a special place in our hearts. Jason Henry, an Ohio State Rugby Hall of Fame alumnus, was shaped by the friendships, discipline, teamwork, and perseverance he gained through the program. Those experiences continue to influence the values we bring to our clients and our community every day.
We're honored to support this milestone celebration and the generations of Buckeyes who have made Ohio State Rugby such a remarkable tradition.
