German rugby women

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Rugby Women (DRF) is the women's organization of the German Rugby Association (DRV) and thus the representation of the women's rugby clubs in Germany . Previously, the affairs of the women's rugby were exclusively regulated by the DRV as the umbrella organization.

Since the establishment of the DRF, women's rugby has evolved and now many more clubs play in regular league operations, currently in a single-track Bundesliga for 15-a-side rugby and in the German 7-a-side for 7-a-side rugby . The women play according to the internationally valid rugby union rules , as do the men.

National team

The DRV women's national team was established in 1989. In the same year, on October 14th, she played her first international match in Berlin and lost 8-0 to Sweden.

In contrast to the men, the women's fifteen was allowed to take part in a world championship just nine years after it was founded: in May 1998 in Amsterdam. After playing against England in August in Hürth and against Ireland in November in Hamburg, she played in the Netherlands against New Zealand, Wales, Italy, Sweden and the hosts. Within two years, the women were able to demonstrate their skills against four “rugby great powers” ​​against which the German men have never been allowed to compete in more than 70 years. The defeats were correspondingly high: 0:84 against England, a very respectable 6:32 against Ireland, 6: 134 against New Zealand and 12:55 against Wales.

At the 2nd Women's World Cup in Barcelona in May 2002, the German women were again defeated in all four games: in the preliminary round 0: 117 against New Zealand and 0:77 against Wales (for third place in the group), in the second round 0:18 against Ireland , and in the game for 15th place just under 19:20 against the Netherlands.

At the European Championship finals in April 2005 in Hamburg, the DRV selection lost the semifinals on April 7 against Italy with 0:52 and the game for third place two days later against Sweden with 5:17. After that, the women's national team of fifteen was disbanded for financial reasons.

In the run-up to the German Rugby Day 2006 (General Assembly of the DRV), this decision was partially revised and the foundation for a new structure was laid with the development plan for German women's rugby. From April 10th to 15th, 2007, the national team took part in the European B Championship in Belgium.

In 2010, after participating in the European Trophy 2010, the national team of 15 was suspended until further notice. Since then, all human and financial resources have been concentrated on the 7-man national team.

In 2012 and 2013, an unofficial national team of 15 played against Belgium. In mid-2015, a privately financed selection team supported by the clubs of the women's Bundesliga was brought into being, not least to persuade the DRV to set up a national team again. The team called "G15" defeated the Swiss national team in their first game with 47:13.

On April 16, 2016, through an application to the Presidium of the German Rugby Association (DRV), the DRF succeeded in rebuilding the 15-man national team for women, initially limited to two years. After these two years, the DRV wanted to draw a conclusion about the performance and financial viability. In May 2016, Alfred Jansen and Marcus Trick were named as coaching staff. In their first test match against the Swiss national team, the German women won 36-0.

German championship / Bundesliga

In 1988 a championship for women was introduced, which was initially held in the form of tournaments or a series of tournaments. As with the men, there has been a Bundesliga since the 1992/93 season. It played temporarily as a one-piece league with four clubs (2001/02), then with five (2001/02), again with four (2002/03 and 2003/04), with six (2004/05). In the 2006/07 season the number fell back to five. In the meantime, the Bundesliga had grown significantly, in the 2014/15 season it had eight teams, but since the 2016/2017 season it has been reduced to five teams again.

The Heidelberg RK was able to win the German 7-series championship a total of eight times, followed by FC St. Pauli and SC Neuenheim 02 with three titles each. So far, ASV Köln and SC Germania List have won two titles each.

Since 2007 there have been two national competitions in women's 7-a-side rugby. Since the women's regional leagues were played in the seventh mode, the 2006 regional league's final tournament was rated as the German women's 7th championship. This tournament was held by the top three teams from the four regional leagues at the time. After protests from SC Germania List in 2006, an open German 7-man championship was introduced. The teams participating there did not have to have participated in a regional league in the previous season.

Thus, from 2007 to 2014, two national championships in women's 7-a-side rugby took place: 1. the official German 7-a-side championship, which was initially held on July 7, 2007 in Heidelberg (SC Neuenheim) (winners: SC Neuenheim) and 2. a "German championship of the regional leagues", later "7-league championship", which took place for the first time on June 9, 2007 in Hanover (FC Schwalbe) (winners: Heidelberger RK).

In the summer of 2014, the German rugby women reformed the seven-match operation on the German Rugby Women’s Day. Since 2015, the German 7th championship has been played in national final tournaments after qualifying across the regional 7th leagues.

DRV Cup

The DRV trophy for women was (allegedly) played from 1990 to 1999 - also under the name "Women's Cup". However, for the years up to 1997 no data is available on participating clubs and winners, only the winners of the last two years are known.
