Brumbies

The Brumbies (formerly known as the ACT Brumbies, for sponsorship reasons referred to as CA Technologies Brumbies) are a Super 15 Rugby team based in Canberra.

History
Rugby union football has a long history in the ACT. The British Isles opened their 1899 tour of Australia with a match in Goulburn. However, it was not until 1938 that the ACT Rugby Union was finally established. Four clubs made up the first local competition; University, Easts, RMC and Norths. Also that year, a representative ACT side faced off against the All Blacks, losing 5 to 56.

Stadium
The Brumbies play all their home fixtures at Canberra Stadium, located adjacent to the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. They share the ground with the Canberra Raiders rugby League team. Also, the Canberra Vikings, the Brumbies' affiliate in the short-lived Australian Rugby Championship, played one of their four regular-season home matches there.

Rivalries
The Brumbies have traditionally had a fierce rivalry with the NSW Waratahs.
