KwaZulu-Natal Rugby Union
The KwaZulu-Natal Rugby Union was founded as the Natal Rugby Union in 1890. The KwaZulu-Natal Rugby Union is the major shareholder in the Natal Sharks, and is responsible for the administration of club rugby in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Well known clubs in the region include Rovers, Durban Collegians, the University of KwaZulu-Natal (formerly University of Natal) and Old Boys RFC.
The senior clubs in the region compete for the "Moor Cup", a magnificent trophy presented in 1876 to George Moor, captain of the “Colonials” in their victory against the “Home-borns” in Kimberly. The trophy found its way to Pietermaritzburg and in 1957 the first KwaZulu-Natal club to win the cup was University of Natal (Durban campus).

Famous quotes containing the word union:
“If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
