Gai Wu Rugby Football Club

In 1987, with a number of rugby enthusiasts from other senior rugby clubs came together to provide a home for local Eurasian and local Chinese players returned to Hong Kong from education overseas, Gai Wu’s "All Asian" rugby team made their debut, assembled to take on the bastion of British Colonial expats in their prized Rugby 7's tournament. Taking on the name "GAI WU" was significant for the “All Asians” in that it was a Mah-Jong term, meaning to win, though with a lower hand of cards, thus upsetting potentially big winners by preempting their next move; making it possible to win from a less advantaged position. Gai Wu started HK's first local women rugby team and since we have witnessed our female members achieve much success both on and off the field. We are currently the second largest rugby club in Hong Kong with a strong history working with local schools and NGOs to promote various community programs.
