Cebu Pink Dragons
The Cebu Pink Dragons started as a ladies' touch rugby team in 2006 under the banner of Cebu City Rugby Football Club. It only had as few as six players back then. But through the continuous promotion of the sport and relentless player recruitment, members proliferated as the young and the old, as well as the guys, gathered together at Camp Lapu-Lapu grounds every Sunday, mainly for fun and social camaraderie.

Nomads R.F.C.
Early Nomads rugby history is synonymous with that of the history of the game in the Philippines as a whole.

The Extinct Volcanoes
