PRFC is a member of USA Rugby and all four of its teams compete within the Pacific Northwest Rugby Football Union (Oregon, Washington, and Idaho).

Pigs Are Optimistic This year's Portland Rugby Division II side has finished the Fall season 2-6. Suffering the lose of some core veterans and dealing with a tough Fall schedule has taken its toll on the League Champions. A hard pill to swallow for a team who's past two seasons saw two Pacific Coast Playoff births and had a combined record of 30-5-1. However, the Spring season is shaping up to be a different story. The young Pigs travel away from Portland only one time next half and the team is optimistic it can turn things around before they host the PNRFU playoffs on April 10th and 17th. Portland has entered a new team into PNRFU's Division 3 competition and the team has finished its first Fall season with a promising 2-3-2.
