Welcome to the home of The Ironmen


The official site of UNB Men’s RFC. The Ironmen compete in the Atlantic University League in both the 1st and 2nd divisions. The 1st side has made several appearances the Canadian Men’s University Rugby Championships Representing Atlantic Canada.

We are actively recruiting student athletes for the 2023 season. Please fill out our recruiting form as we offer several scholarships and other opportunities at UNB.

In 2018 UNB Athletics embarked on a bold rebranding. The Reds logo [pictured below lower left] has been extended to be the symbol of all UNB Teams, both Varsity and Club. We are still the UNB Ironmen Rugby Football Club, but the REDS symbol unites all of us as UNB athletes.  UNB rugby will be referred to as UNB Reds Rugby on the university’s sport communications and official website just like all the other UNB clubs and teams.

In addition to the UNB RFC, the league consists of

1st Division – UNB, UPEI, Dalhousie, STFX, Acadia & Memorial

2nd Division – UNB, St. Thomas, Mount A, Kings College & CBU
