Description
The ASRU is an independent incorporated association run by volunteer members of the teaching profession and supporters who believe rugby has a unique ethos and benefits that contribute to the broader education of young people. ASRU is an affiliate of Rugby Australia.
The Committee comprises of delegates appointed by each state Schools Union – two from each state/territory, with three from NSW. Delegates then elect an Executive.
The Australian Schools’ Rugby Union first convened as a committee in 1972 and the first Australian Schools Championships was conducted in 1975 in Melbourne.
The first Australian Schoolboys team predated the establishment of the ASRU Committee and Championships. That team toured South Africa in 1969 at the personal invitation of Danny Craven playing seven provincial games but no test matches. Greg Cornelsen, Russell Fairfax and Steve Finnane were members of that team. Since then over 2000 Schoolboys have gone to play for the Wallabies, countless more representing their State, with many more playing professionally across the world.
The first tour of the UK by an Australian Schools team occurred in 1973, playing fifteen matches only losing to England at Twickenham in their final match and featured future Wallabies Phil Crowe, Mick Matters and Terry Wright. The UK tour has been a feature of Australian Schools Rugby occurring every four years since then.
The first Australian Schoolgirls Sevens Team was selected in 2023 following the Australian Championships. The team went on to win the Global Youth Sevens in December, scoring 246 points and conceding only 29.
ASRU is an affiliate of Rugby Australia, with the Australian Schools Rugby Championships and schools rugby an aligned and formal national schools pathway for both boys and girls to future RA representation.
The Australian Schools Rugby Foundation is a separate incorporated body whose aim is to support the aims of the Schools Rugby Union.
