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.
