Abu Dhabi’s very own Harlequins Rugby Club is proving why it’s one of the leading lights in UAE sport – both on the field and in the community.

As the largest rugby club in Abu Dhabi, Harlequins offers opportunities for players of all ages and abilities, from energetic juniors learning the game to competitive senior squads chasing titles.

It’s a club where passion for rugby runs deep, and there’s room for everyone to get involved.

This Saturday marks a huge moment in the club’s season: seven Harlequins teams have secured their places in the end-of-season finals, a testament to the depth of talent and commitment across the board.

Off the pitch, the club continues to lead the way as the most followed rugby club in the UAE on social media, engaging fans and supporters from all corners of the region.

At the heart of the Harlequins’ success is its community spirit. The club is proudly community-led, supported by more than 50 dedicated volunteers, from coaches and team managers to first aiders and admin stars, all giving their time to help the club thrive.

With the season wrapping up in spectacular style, attention is already turning to the next chapter.

Preparations for the 2025/26 season begin in August, and the club is already building momentum for what promises to be another exciting year.

Whether you’re a player, parent, volunteer, or rugby enthusiast, Harlequins Rugby Club is a place to belong.

With a culture built on teamwork, inclusivity, and ambition, it’s more than a club, it’s a rugby family.
