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. In 2007, the ACT was also home to the
Canberra Vikings in the
Australian Rugby Championship, the country's short-lived attempt to establish a domestic professional league in the sport.
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.
