The Blue Bulls Women’s Rugby Association (BBWRA) is the official body responsible for driving the development, promotion, and support of women’s and girls’ rugby within the Blue Bulls Rugby Union. We are committed to growing the women’s game at grassroots, school, club, and elite levels — providing a powerful platform for participation, leadership, and high-performance excellence.

Elite players benefit from access to professional coaching, strength and conditioning, medical support, and tactical training. We align closely with national systems to prepare players for provincial and national selection.

Coach & Referee Development

Community Engagement & Inclusion

We work with schools, clubs, and NGOs to introduce rugby to under-resourced areas, creating access for all young girls to play and love the game — regardless of background or geography.

The Blue Bulls (Blue Bulls Rugby Union) or Blou Bulle (Afrikaans) was formed in 1938 as the Northern Transvaal Rugby Union (N.T.R.U.). Prior to the formation of the union, the region's clubs were under the jurisdiction of the then Transvaal Rugby Union (now Golden Lions Rugby Union). Northern Transvaal (under the NTRU), captained by Danie Craven, played its first home game as an independent union on 28 May 1938. The game against the Orange Free State team ended in a draw, 11:11. In its first 75 years, the team competed for the Currie Cup in 55 seasons and won 23 Currie Cup titles in 53 finals. In the same period, 127 Springboks hailed from the Union, and it won 3 Super Rugby titles.
