If you are based in Malta and want to play rugby, Stompers is the perfect club to play for.
Whether you're Maltese or an expat looking for a team sport in Malta, Stompers welcomes everyone. Rugby is one of the best ways to meet people, stay fit, and become part of a close-knit community. No experience needed. Your first sessions are free.
Stompers Rugby Club was established in 1995, making it one of the longest-standing rugby union clubs in Malta.
After an early setback, the club was reformed in 1999 and won its first trophy in 2001, the beginning of a competitive record that now spans two decades. A member of the Malta Rugby Football Union (MRFU), Stompers competes in the Malta Rugby Championship (MRC) league, the MRC Prestige Cup and the MRC Ray Elliot Cup each season. The Men's team fields over 40 registered players and trains twice weekly at St. Aloysius College Pitch in Birkirkara. The Women's team won silverware in their very first full season in the 2022/23 Women's 7s League. The Youth Academy brings children aged 7 to 12 into the sport. Across all three teams, Stompers is recognised as the friendliest and most inclusive rugby club in Malta, welcoming beginners, expats, and experienced players alike. See our trophy case.
Joining Stompers Rugby Club means becoming part of a club with over 30 years of history in Maltese rugby.
Whether you are a seasoned player looking for competitive rugby in Malta, an expat searching for a team sport and a social community, or a complete beginner who has never touched a rugby ball, Stompers welcomes players of every level. The club runs structured training sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings across three squads: Men, Women, and Youth (early evening). Experienced coaches lead each session, and the first few sessions are always free. No commitment required. Off the pitch, Stompers is known for a strong social culture built around the sport. It is one of the most active and inclusive rugby clubs affiliated with the Malta Rugby Football Union.
The Stompers Men play with passion, boasting a rich winning history and a strong presence in competitive rugby in Malta. Competing in the MRC league and Prestige Cup, the men's rugby team trains twice a week and welcomes new players of all abilities.
Women's rugby in Malta is growing fast, and Stompers women are leading the way. A recent addition to the club, our female rugby players secured silverware in their very first season. Whether you're new to the sport or an experienced player, our women's team is the place to be.
