[edit] Team History

The United States women's national rugby union team represents the United States in women's rugby union. Officially formed in 1987, the Women's National Team (known as the Eagles) has been an international powerhouse since its inception. The Eagles won the first official Women's Rugby World Cup in 1991, and finished second in the two following World Cups (1994, 1998). The team finished sixth in the 2002 Women's Rugby World Cup. The Eagles have set the standard for international competition, leading an ensuing wave of women's rugby growth and game development worldwide.

The team is currently coached by former Eagle Kathy Flores. Flores took over the team in January, 2003. Flores played on the 1991 and 1994 World Cup Squads, playing #8 and scrumhalf. In addition to coaching the Eagles, Flores is the coach of the 11 time national championship women's club team, the Berkeley All Blues.
