About APR | Our Story & Mission

About American Pro Rugby

Our mission to redefine rugby in America through innovation, community, and captivating storytelling.

Our Vision: Beyond the Pitch

American Pro Rugby (APR) was founded on a revolutionary idea: to build a rugby league from the ground up, with **media, fan engagement, and compelling narratives** at its core. We believe that by focusing on the stories, rivalries, and personalities, we can cultivate a passionate fanbase that will drive the sport's growth in the United States.

Our home in **Las Vegas** isn't just a location; it's a character in our story. The city's energy, entertainment, and global appeal are woven into the fabric of APR, creating a unique and exciting brand of rugby that stands out on the world stage.

Our Core Values

  • Respect: For the game, our opponents, officials, and our community.
  • Integrity: Upholding the highest standards of honesty and sportsmanship.
  • Inclusivity: Creating a welcoming environment for all, regardless of background or ability.
  • Fun: Ensuring rugby is an enjoyable and engaging experience for players and fans alike.
  • Excellence: Striving for the highest levels of performance, professionalism, and innovation.

These values guide every decision we make, from our digital content to our grassroots development programs.

Our Journey So Far

Founded in 202X, American Pro Rugby began as a digital-first initiative, building a strong online presence and fan community before launching any physical teams. Our initial focus was on creating captivating simulated seasons, developing rich team narratives, and engaging fans through interactive content.

This unique approach allowed us to build a loyal following and generate significant interest, proving the viability of our model. As our digital footprint grew, so did our capacity to invest in the future of American rugby.

Looking ahead, APR is committed to establishing robust grassroots programs in Las Vegas and beyond, fostering talent from a young age, and creating a sustainable pathway for players to reach elite levels. We are building not just a league, but a lasting legacy for rugby in the USA.
