01 / WHO WE ARE
What is Rugby Fan Central?
Rugby Fan Central (RFC) is an independent digital rugby publication and rugby information platform covering rugby union in the United States and around the world.
RFC combines original rugby journalism with structured rugby information, including fixtures, results, schedules, standings, statistics, teams, players and competitions.
Rugby information is often scattered across governing bodies, competition websites, club pages and social media. Rugby Fan Central is being built to connect more of that information and give supporters a clearer way to follow the game.

More than rugby news.
RFC is being built as a connected rugby information platform — where journalism and rugby data work together.
When we cover a match, competition or developing story, supporters should be able to go deeper: explore the schedule, find the result, check the table, discover the teams and understand what happens next.
The story shouldn't end at the final whistle.
