Canada Rugby Union Shirt is a unique Shirt. It is designed in the memory of the rugby league. There are many similarities between the early history of rugby in Canada and that of Canadian football. Many teams played many forms of games in Toronto. The teams also played in Halifax and Montreal from around 1823.
 
Rugby took a foothold in Canada around 1860. It took foothold due to instigation by settlers from the British Army and Navy. The places for a foothold are British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Halifax.
In 1864, the first official game of rugby in Canada staged in Montreal. The forces of artillerymen played the game. Fred A. Bethune and F. Barlow Cumberland gave first detailed rules for rugby football in Canada. The officers of an English regiment played the first proper game of Canadian rugby. They played against local civilians. The officers were mainly from McGill University in 1865.
Alfred St. George Hamersley became the main responsible for the formation of rugby in Canada. Alfred is an England international. He had played in the first Calcutta Cup fixture in 1871. He captained England Rugby. Alfred also played an instrumental in introducing rugby in British Columbia. We created a vintage England 1871 Rugby Shirt. Also, we created a retro England 1871 T-Shirt. The T-Shirt celebrates the formation of international rugby in 1871.
