In 2002 and 2005 the team earned a berth in the USA Rugby round of 16 national Tournament and finished 10th in 2005, our highest finish yet.

The current roster consists of approximately 45 players, and the team fields two sides, a varsity level side, and a reserves side during the competitive season. New players' prior experience in rugby ranges from none to 4 years of play in high school. The team provides the opportunity for competitive play as well as the development of rugby skills for players of all experience levels.

The team has consistently had players named to the USA Rugby Women's Collegiate All American squad, and in 2005 1 player was named to the 1st team, and two were named to the 2nd team.

Players from the Cal women's Rugby team have also been successful in select side play. Currently there are former Cal players on the USA Rugby Women's National Team, the Women's U23 National Team, and the Girls' U19 National Team.
