Club Overview

AAC is the oldest Rugby Club in Amsterdam, in 2020 we will be 90 years old! In this time we have produced many international players, men, women, youth and even two Barbarians, George de Vries and Samantha Martinez Gion.

At AAC anyone is invited to play the game. We cater for men, all youth teams, ladies and vets too. Through it’s long history, many nationalities have turned out for AAC. At the last count, we had over 20 different nationalities in the Mens & Women’s section. Now more than 60% of our mens selection is made up of international expats living and working in Amsterdam too.

As any serious sporting club we are looking for players that want to build something special. In 2021/22 season we have ambitious plans to make our 1st & 2nd XV teams champions of their respective leagues. 

Are you interested in joining us? Please send your work CV and video footage.

Club Details

We are the only club in Amsterdam who has men, women and youth rugby available. Our club is approximately 5km from the city centre. Here we have access to 3 pitches, one of which is artificial so we can play in all weather conditions. We also have access to a state-of-the-art gym facility where we have regular S&C sessions.  

In the clubhouse, you can always expect a party, especially on our infamous 'Super Sundays' where all teams play at home.

We have two mandatory training sessions per week, Tuesday & Thursday from 19:30 - 21:00 and one optional extra session for S&C and recovery in our gym or local pool. 

For quality players with the right to work in EU, we can support with:

- Flights (within EU)
- A job at a local cafe / labouring / carprentry / plumbing 
- Accomodation in our players house where we have 4 bedrooms close to the club and city 
- Physio & Gym  
- NO RETAINER in any case. We are building an inclusive culture and will not pay any players cash

In return you must have: 

- EU Passport, or visa to work in EU. We cannot sponsor visas.
