Those who have come before us and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Kombumerri Saltwater People.
At Eagles Rugby, we strive to create a welcoming, inclusive, and successful club for all. With a proud history dating back to 1965, we are the foundation club for Gold Coast Rugby. Over the years, we have grown to become home to hundreds of junior and senior players, and we take great pride in producing representative players each year.
Diversity is at the heart of our club. Our members come from various backgrounds, including the Pacific, New Zealand, Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Australia (both indigenous and later arrivals). This diversity adds richness to our community and creates a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and included.
One of our standout features is our stunning rugby ground. Situated within James Overall Park on Brighton Parade, Southport, our club enjoys a breathtaking backdrop of the Nerang River and Southport's Broadwater. This picturesque location, surrounded by luxury yachts, million-dollar mansions, and the iconic Surfers Paradise skyline, truly sets the stage for an unforgettable rugby experience.
Our club's vision is to be the club of choice for your family's rugby experience. We are committed to providing a professional, safe, and enjoyable environment for our players, supporters, friends, families, and the wider community. We value professionalism both on and off the field, making decisions that align with our vision and values. Communication is key, and we ensure timely information is shared directly with respect and empathy.
Building positive and mutually beneficial relationships is another core value of ours. We welcome all who share our vision and values, and we strive to succeed as individuals while excelling as a team. We are one club with one voice, and we believe in the power of collaboration and unity.
Innovation is vital to our growth and success. While we remain true to our roots, we constantly seek new ways to improve and adapt. We plan and prepare strategically, always keeping in mind our commitment to innovation.
Passion is what drives us. We honour the land on which we play, our heritage, our people, and the beautiful game of rugby. We inspire all those who call Eagles home to live and lead by the highest standards both on and off the field.
Growth is a continuous journey for us. We strive to improve and expand the value we add to our club, players, supporters, friends, families, and the wider community. We are dedicated to making a positive impact and leaving a lasting legacy.
In summary, Gold Coast Eagles Rugby Union Club is not just a sports club, but a community that values diversity, inclusivity, professionalism, innovation, passion, and growth. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey and become a part of our Eagles family. Contact us today to be a part of our welcoming, inclusive, and successful club.
