Our mission is to show how rugby can bring communities together. With players, coaches, and volunteers from diverse backgrounds, we foster trust, inclusivity, and a "Whole Club" spirit across all sections—Men’s, Women’s, Juniors, Supporters, and Sponsors.

WELCOME TO OUR CLUB
The Rebels Juniors program welcomes players of all abilities to be part of a proud local club. We focus on inclusivity, sportsmanship and enjoyment, helping kids develop both as players and people.
Come down to our Junior Sign On Day to find out more information, meet our coaches and volunteers, and see what being a Junior Rebel is all about. It’s the perfect chance for kids and families to get involved and ask any questions.

SPONSOR
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Partner With the
Byron Shire Rebels
Simply put, without our sponsors, there would be no Rebels. Your support keeps rugby alive in Byron Shire, giving players of all ages the chance to grow, compete, and connect through our vibrant community.
This year, sponsors can choose to support the club as a whole or focus on either the Seniors or Juniors programs. 2026 also marks the launch of the Rebels Rugby Academy, an initiative aimed at reinvigorating rugby across the region, and with the Byron Bay 7s Tournament proudly returning as a club-run event, there are new opportunities to get involved there too.
We welcome sponsors across all areas of the club with flexible options to back one section or multiple. We also value contra contributions that benefit the club. Your partnership not only sustains our teams but strengthens the spirit of rugby throughout Byron Shire.
A NEW CLUB WITH A RICH HISTORY
The Byron Shire Rebels Rugby Club played its first season in 2023. We’re the product of an innovative merger between three clubs: Bangalow Rebels, Byron Bay and Cape Byron Crusaders Junior Rugby Club.
In merging, we have pooled resources and now have a pathway right through from Under 7s to seniors for girls, boys, women and men, at a club that is truly represenative of the iconic Byron Shire region.
