Armada Montréal RFC Company Profile, Contacts & Intelligence

Armada Montréal RFC Overview

The rugbymen of Armada Montréal RFC turned models for FULL CONTACT 2016, the club’s first-ever calendar depicting actions during a rugby match. Scrums, tackles, kicks and line-outs are just a few examples of what makes both the brutality and the beauty of this sport. FULL CONTACT 2016 is a fundraising tool supporting the activities of the club, such as taking part in Bingham Cup 2016, an international tournament the men’s team will participate in May. Armada Montréal RFC is the very first LGBTA rugby club in Quebec. During the summer of 2014, a group of men with a shared interest for rugby created this inclusive sports environment, free of discrimination where anyone can play regardless of sexual orientation. The club, which is part of IGR (International Gay Rugby) and soon Rugby Québec, boasts a roster of over 70 men, and now a team of women with 20 players. Since 2002, gay rugby clubs from around the world gather during this biennial event which has become the largest rugby event after Rugby World Cup. After Manchester, UK (2012) and Sydney, Australia (2014) to name a few, Nashville, TN (USA) will host the tournament with thirty LGBTA rugby clubs in May 2016 - including Armada Montréal RFC. “We have the chance to be role models for other gay folks who wanted to play sports, but never felt good enough or strong enough. More importantly, we have the chance to show the other teams in the league that we are as good as they are. Good rugby players. Good partiers. Good sports. Good men.” - Mark Bingham
