NOLA Gold Rugby will not take part in 2026 season

METAIRIE, La. (WGNO) — Major League Rugby in South Louisiana has encountered a major obstacle.

In a message to fans on their website, NOLA Gold Rugby said, “NOLA Gold has informed the League that we do not intend to participate in the 2026 season. Discussions are ongoing with the League regarding future opportunities and potential pathways forward.”

The Gold finished the 2025 season with a 4-12 record and a fifth-place finish in the Eastern Conference.

The disappointing season comes after the program’s first ever Major League Rugby playoff appearance in 2024. The Gold hosted the Chicago Hounds in the Eastern Conference Semifinals at the Gold Mine on Airline.

In their “End of Season Statement”, the Gold said their ticket revenue increased 30% and their search for a permanent home continues.

Outside of rugby, the Gold Mine on Airline serves as the home of the John Curtis and Jesuit football programs. Tulane football will be using the venue as a natural grass practice surface on different days during fall camp.
