Maxambomba Rugby Club is the first Rugby club of Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was founded on April 12, 2008, and the club is affiliated to the State of Rio de Janeiro Rugby Federation (FFRu).

History

After watching the Rugby World Cup 2007 on TV, Vitor Magalhães had the idea to create a rugby team in his own city. So he posted in a social network and met some people that read that and joined him on his dream. After a meeting in Nova Iguaçu, Maxambomba Rugby Club was founded.

With less than a year, the team started to play State of Rio de Janeiro 2nd Division Championship. In 2014, the "Orange Warrior" reached the 1st Division of Rio and it was a great experience, but in 2015 returned to 2nd.
