Established in 1973, the Albuquerque Aardvarks proudly hold the title of the oldest rugby team in New Mexico. Over the decades, the 'Varks' have actively championed and participated in rugby across the Southwest region. Comprised of a spirited mix of gentlemen and mischievous characters, we're a close-knit community united by our love for the game.
