Founded in 1951, Lane Cove Junior Rugby Union is proud to be celebrating 75 years of junior rugby, community, and family involvement.
LCJRU is a local, volunteer-run club built around one simple idea: giving every child the opportunity to enjoy rugby in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment. We offer rugby for boys and girls from U5 to U15, catering for all abilities, from first-time players to those looking to develop their skills further.
Our club is known for its strong community feel. Families get involved, friendships form quickly, and kids learn more than just rugby. They build confidence, teamwork, resilience, and a love of being active.
We play and train at Tantallon Oval, with the season running from late March through to August. For our younger players in the Minis (U9 and below), the focus is on fun, skill development, and enjoyment of the game, following Rugby Australia’s development pathways. From U10s onward, players progress into graded competition, with teams competing across Sydney through the Sydney Junior Rugby Union.
LCJRU also offers broader experiences for players as they grow, including representative pathways through the Gordon District, regional tours, and our long-standing U14 New Zealand Tour, a highlight for many families.
As we mark our 75th year, our focus is firmly on growing participation, welcoming new families, and strengthening the club for the next generation. Whether your child is picking up a rugby ball for the first time or returning for another season, there is a place for them at Lane Cove.
If you are interested in joining LCJRU, we would love to hear from you.
