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).
