Established in 1973, Wake Forest Rugby has come a long way over the years.
In 2011, the team became one of the founding members of the Atlantic Coast Rugby League (ACRL) which competes in Division 1AA under USA Rugby. After Rugby Sevens was recently introduced as a new sport for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, the ACRL made the decision to include a fully competitive Sevens season into the conference's competition calendar. Starting in the fall of 2013, teams participated in a complete Rugby Union (fifteens) season, then shift disciplines in the spring for a circuit-style Rugby Sevens season.
In 2016, the ACRL was dissolved so Wake joined the Southern Rugby Conference (SRC) which competes in Division 2 under USA Rugby. Wake has continued the ACRL format of playing complete Rugby Union in the fall and Rugby Sevens in the Spring.
