The 'ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union' is the governing body for
rugby union in the
Australian Capital Territory and southern regions of
New South Wales. The union is represented by one team in the
Super 14 competition, the
Brumbies. The ACT will also be home to one of the teams in the new
Australian Rugby Championship which starts in 2007.
The union was founded in
1938 as the 'ACT Rugby Union'. It received its current name after the
2004 Super 12 season, when the Far South Coast and Southern Inland unions of New South Wales joined the organisation. This change also led to the former ACT Brumbies being renamed Brumbies Rugby.
