The Gentlemen of Aspen Rugby Football Club is an eight time National Club Champion fifteens rugby union team based in Aspen, Colorado. Gentlemen of Aspen RFC was a founding member of the Super League, a national competition that ran from 1997 to 2012. They withdrew from the SuperLeague during the 2005 season due to the unsustainable financial viability of the Super League. They now compete in the Colorado Rocky Mountain League and host the Aspen Ruggerfest tournament on the third week of September every year.[1]
The Gents are the current Mountain League Champions and hold the Ski town trophy along with the Cowpie Champions trophy too for 2017.
60 Aspen players have played for the USA Eagles National Rugby team. Including 11 at one time.
