ACT & Southern NSW Rugby Union restores club's original name, the ACT Brumbies

Following extensive consultation with key stakeholders in the club and the Territory, the ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union have announced the reintroduction of ‘ACT’ into the name of the club’s Super Rugby Pacific, Super W and Junior Representative sides which will again be known as the ACT Brumbies for the first time since 2004. 

The ACT Brumbies’ Board of Directors ratified the decision to re-establish the clubs original name, symbolically reconnecting the club to its home in the nation’s capital.

The ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union remains connected and committed to the Capital Region, from Southern Inland to the South Coast and Monaro, with the Brumbies committed to taking trial games outside of Canberra annually.

ACT Brumbies Chairman, Matt Nobbs said: “It’s an exciting and proud day for the organisation and the club to officially re-introduce ourselves as the ACT Brumbies.”

 
“Our commitment to our region will continue to grow, and we hope to confirm trial games outside of Canberra for 2023 shortly, but the Australian Capital Territory is and has always been our home and with this decision, we want to formally re-connect ourselves to our local community, so that they feel a sense of ownership and belonging to our club once again. “
