Auction Canceled
Due to low ticket sales, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Liberty Rugby Annual Auction scheduled for November 7.
We’ll be reviewing the event and will likely reschedule it for a different part of the rugby season. Anyone who purchased tickets or sponsored the event will receive additional information directly.
Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets, donated, volunteered, or helped with planning. We truly appreciate your support and will share an update once our next steps are determined.
Lady Liberty’s England Tour
Planning for Lady Liberty’s April 2027 England tour is progressing well! We’re looking for sponsors to help make this experience possible. Know a business or supporter who might be interested? Please share the tour page.

Player Voices: Why I Love Rugby
“Rugby has given me many opportunities to get out of the house and stay active, I’ve made a lot of new friends, better yet: a family with my team I see these girls as my second family.
I love the community and culture rugby has given to me, I get to travel to play and have fun with my friends.
That’s why I love rugby.”
— Winnie, Lady Liberty
