Official Gilbert USA Rugby Vintage Leather Ball

Although rugby hit the shores of America long ago in 1874 (with the first recorded match between Harvard and McGill), it took another 100 years for USA Rugby to officially step on the pitch for the first time.

Celebrate the heritage of Rugby in America with this handcrafted vintage leather ball commemorating the history of USA Rugby. Created by Gilbert Rugby using the methods and traditions that reach back nearly 200 years. A wonderful rugby memorabilia that makes a great decorative piece for any lover of the game.

Features:

  • Leather
  • Officially licensed by USA Rugby
  • Premium leather ball embossed with team logo
  • Color: Black
  • By Gilbert Rugby, original rugby ball manufacturer

Best customer service

"Customer service is lacking in today’s world but world rugby stands behind their products! I purchased a rugby ball for my grandson that was defective and they replaced it even though it had been over 30 days! It’s very rare according to them to have one that was defective but they made it good and I was so pleased that they sent another ball. My grandson is the youngest rugby referee in the world, just turned 13, but was certified when he was nine… was thrilled to get the new ball for his birthday. Thank you world rugby you’re the best!"

Prefer the "original" without Country logo...

"These Vintage rugby balls are great! The craftsmanship and memories of when I first started playing rugby. l tell my players it is like carrying a cinder block when the leather gets wet from the rain. I buy these each year as a Graduation gift for my Senior (College) players. This is the first year I have had to surrender to using a "logo'd" Rugby Ball with USA Rugby embossed into the leather. I prefer to give my graduates a clean vintage rugby ball without the USA logo. I hope Gilbert decides to revisit a plain Vintage rugby ball for next my graduates in 2024. Kindest Regards, David Marcussen Coach Randolph-Macon College USA"
