CAL RUGBY

Nestled in Strawberry Canyon, Witter Rugby Field is the home of Cal varsity rugby - the most successful collegiate program in the country with 29 national collegiate championships.

A $2 million facility built in 1995, Witter Rugby Field is a dedicated rugby facility with electronic scoreboard on the east and west ends, towering goalposts and permanent kicking nets.

New, state-of-the-art synthetic turf was installed in September of 2019. The new turf meets World Rugby specifications and includes an environmentally-friendly Geofill system. Instead of rubber, the fill is comprised of 90 percent coconut and 10 percent naturally-derived, plant-based matter.

Next to the field is the Doc Hudson Memorial Field House, which holds the rugby offices, as well as a room adorned with Cal and U.S. rugby memorabilia - featuring pictures that follow the history of Cal rugby. Hudson, one of the greatest rugby coaches in U.S. history, compiled a 339-84-23 record during his 36 years as Cal's rugby coach from 1938-74.
