The Dallas Harlequins Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team based in Dallas, Texas. The Harlequins formerly played in the Super League, but now play in the Texas Rugby Union Men's Division 1. The Harlequins won the 1984 USA National Championships, and have finished in the top 3 at USA National Championships 6 times. The Harlequins are 21-time Texas RFU Champions. The Harlequins formed in 1971. The team name is a tribute to Harlequin F.C., an English club that competes in the Aviva Premiership. In 1972, the Harlequins became the first Texas RFU club to win a match against a club from outside the United States when they defeated the Baillou Club of Nassau, Bahamas. Though the Dallas Harlequins had begun using the Harlequin name upon formation, they did not become formally affiliated with Harlequins FC until 1983, marking the first time that a club from the western hemisphere had formed an official relationship with the team for whom they were named. 1984 marked their first US national club championship, with assistance from an unlikely source: South African star Naas Botha was invited to Dallas to try and make the Cowboys as a kicker, and stayed on to play for Quins after he was released from the Cowboys. Dallas Hosted the Mexican National 7s Side in the summer of 2008. Harlequins Dylan Carrion and Mike Ashmead both scored in this contest. More information...
