2026 ASPEN RUGGERFEST

WE CHANGED THE GAME IN AUSTRALIA

NOW WE'RE BRINGING IT TO THE USA.

The PigAthleticClub™ are heading to Aspen this September for the 58th Ruggerfest, one of North America's greatest rugby tournaments in one of the world's most sought-after zip codes. This is our first step in expanding our rugby brand from Australia into the USA, building a global fraternity of expat professionals and creating a pathway for local talent to grow alongside them. We'd love you to be part of it.

We're heading to Aspen to compete.

But that's only part of the story.

PigAthleticClub™ is coming to the USA. Not just for a tour. We're building a real rugby community for expats, opening doors for the best young American talent, and creating pathways into the game and beyond it. We'd love you to be part of it from the start.

Cultivating the Expat Rugby Community

Former Tongan international Kurt Morath, now based in Texas, is helping lead the charge. PAC is building a home for the wider expat rugby community scattered across the USA with tours, events, and genuine connection for anyone who has ever called rugby home.

Developing USA Homegrown Talent

American rugby has talent. It just needs the right doors opened. Former USA Eagle Harry Higgins runs our Academy, giving the best young American players real development and pathway opportunities.

Opening Doors Beyond the Pitch

Real professional and career opportunities through a global network of expat professionals and business leaders who all started in the same changing room.
