Creation and approach

The Rugby Eagles Luxembourg is a Rugby club in Luxembourg founded in 2019 and officially affiliated with the Luxembourg Rugby Union in July 2020.[1] The Rugby Eagles Luxembourg are the fifth Rugby club created in Luxembourg[2] and they are based in the commune of Kopstal-Bridel,[3] which is part of the Canton of Capellen in the southwestern part of Luxembourg-city.

The Rugby Eagles Luxembourg started their activities in the season 2019-2020 and their pedagogical approach is exclusively a child-centered Rugby project.[4] This approach mixes non-contact forms of Rugby for youngster players with traditional forms of Rugby for the more experienced players and uses a specific coaching method that helps children develop into autonomous, creative and decision-making players.[5]

Since its inception, the Rugby Eagles Luxembourg has developed at a steady pace, reached more than 100 members during the season 2022-2023 and officially affiliated with the French Rugby Federation in October 2022.[6]
