The Gentlemen of Aspen Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team based in Aspen, Colorado. Aspen RFC is a founding SuperLeague. They withdrew from the SuperLeague in the middle of the 2005 season and forfeited the competition. They now compete in the Men's Club Division 1 League . After 3 years out of the Super League, Aspen won the National 7's Championships in the Summer of 2008 and won the 2009 Division I Championship, May 31 @ Infinity Park, Glendale (Denver) Colorado.
Aspen RFC was officially formed in 1967 by Steve Shurlock, an Englishman who noticed that Aspen, Colorado, a traditional skiing town, had a large international population, many of whom had played rugby before coming to the United States. The first match occurred on 4 July 1967, when an unofficial Aspen XV faced the established Denver Barbarians.
