The Hamburg Exiles Rugby Football Club is a German rugby union club from Hamburg, currently playing in the Rugby-Regionalliga North.[2] The club organizes a yearly rugby sevens competition called the Hamburg Sevens.[3]
The club currently fields one team which plays in the Verbandsliga North. Prior the club had a separate seeder team, combining news players to Rugby Union from different clubs in Hamburg.
Despite playing Rugby, the clubs holds a strong focus on social events. Various events are organized throughout the year to attract new players and give expats and locals an opportunity to get in touch with the club. The main social event takes place in Hamburg City Hall.
History
The Hamburg Exiles were formed in 1966 by foreign-born players of the FC St. Pauli Rugby and Hamburger RC teams who, feeling their clubs had not shielded them from changes in German Rugby Federation rules limiting how many foreign players could be fielded during a match, decided to found a club with a more international orientation.[4]
