West Windsor Fields

Princeton Rugby has its clubhouse, three game fields, two practice fields and a scrummage machine located at West Windsor Fields. The fields are across Lake Carnegie and are accessible from campus by a stone footbridge. The fields are also accessible by car from Washington Road. Princeton University’s West Windsor fields were the site of a week-long USA Rugby Collegiate All-Star selection camp in 2009.

Rickerson Field

Rickerson FieldThe primary match field is named after Stu Rickerson ’71, and his Princeton Varsity soccer-playing spouse, Nancy Jones Rickerson ’87. Stu was the captain of the Ivy Champion 1971 team and has been one of the primary driving forces behind the Princeton Rugby Alumni Association and the Flying Tigers.

Haaga House

Opened in 2013, Princeton Rugby has a spectacular 5,500 sq. ft. field house called the Haaga House, located at West Windsor Fields. The Haaga House was named after alumnus Paul G. Haaga, Jr. ’70 following a donation to build the clubhouse. It includes Men’s and Women’s team rooms, visiting team changing rooms, bathroom facilities, storage rooms, and a large gathering space for events and spectators. Princeton is one of the few universities in America to have a dedicated rugby facility.
