About the Club
The Sydney Convicts are Australia’s first gay Rugby Union club and current title holders of the Bingham Cup, the World Cup of gay Rugby. Founded in 2004, the Convicts are a group committed to building a competitive, social and diverse club which welcomes players from all levels of playing experience.
The Convicts, affiliated with the Woollahra Colleagues RFC, compete in the Halligan Cup and also the Sydney Suburban Rugby Union championship. The team have proved their ability to hold their own in mainstream competition by winning the Halligan Cup, undefeated, in 2005 and 2006.
The Convicts I team, successfully defended their World Championship title at the Bingham Cup, the Gay Rugby World Cup, held last June in Dublin, Ireland. The Convicts II team were close runners up in the Bingham Shield division.
