Atlantic Rock, also known as The Rock, are a Canadian rugby union team based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The team plays in the Canadian Rugby Championship (CRC) and is intended to draw most of its players from the rugby unions of Canada's five Eastern provinces: Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Newfoundland & Labrador.
The organization is a successor to the four Rugby Canada Super League (RCSL) teams of those unions (PEI did not have a team), and was created when the IRB and Rugby Canada decided to create a "hemispheric" rugby competition - the ARC.
The Rock played their only home game of 2009 at Swilers Rugby Park in St. John's.
