The 2021 LA Giltinis season was the club's inaugural season in Major League Rugby.[1] [2] [3] Darren Coleman was the first coach of the club.[1] Dave Dennis was the club's first ever captain. The team finished the season first in the Western Conference standings and qualified for the 2021 Major League Rugby playoffs. The Giltinis won the Final against Rugby ATL.[3] [4] The team was the second to win the championship in its first season, after Seattle Seawolves achieved it back in 2018, the inaugural season of Major League Rugby.
The LA Giltinis played their home matchups at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. Due to a scheduling conflict at the stadium, SoFi Stadium was used for a matchup against Utah Warriors.[5]
