The Harvard Women's Rugby team is the women's rugby union program that represents Harvard University in Division I tournaments organised by the National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA). Harvard competes in the Ivy Rugby Conference.

The club began activities in 1982,[1] although the university's first involvement with the sport can be traced to 1874, when Harvard played a two-game series vs Canadian McGill University.[2][3]
