BC Bears Senior Teams
The BC Bears Senior Men’s and Women’s teams pit the best of British Columbia Rugby against other provinces, representative sides, and professional teams. While the BC Bears name was officially launched in 2009, and used solely for the Senior Men’s team, the Province of British Columbia has a rich Rugby history and has been represented by Provincial Teams for well over a century. Many BC Bears athletes have gone on to play both professionally, and for the Canadian National Teams!
Through the years, our Senior teams have toured, hosted, and played some of the world’s biggest and best Rugby teams including Australia, New Zealand, England, and the British & Irish Lions.
