ABOUT THE IRONSIDES
Ironsides Players
A diverse and committed group of men

The men who make up Boston Ironsides come from wildly varying backgrounds both on the field and off. We have players just out of college as well as seasoned rugby veterans. Some of our members have been playing rugby for years, while others have only just started. We celebrate the differences that make us strong as a team, and look forward to continuing to add new diversity to our ranks.

Put Your Colors on Our Colors
Become a Corporate Sponsor
It takes a significant amount of money to operate a rugby team—far more than can be raised by member dues and boosters alone. This is especially true for 2012. The Ironsides will be travelling to Manchester, U.K. as one of about thirty rugby union clubs to compete in the Bingham Cup, the World Championship of gay and inclusive rugby, and the largest men's 15s rugby union tournament outiside of the IRB Rugby World Cup.

This is a huge logistical and financial undertaking and represents the pinnacle of competition for athletes who are neither professional nor Olympic-level. Ask anyone who has participated; it's a life-changing experience.

Won't you consider supporting the Boston Ironsides through a corporate sponsorship? Not only will your company enjoy exposure and advertising locally and at a major sporting event that will be televised around the world, but you'll be strengthening amateur sport at a very challenging time. We have developed a series of sponsorship tiers, and can also customize a sponsorship package that's the right fit for your company or organization.
