Rugby Imports LTD is a sporting goods company based in East Providence, Rhode Island, that specializes in rugby apparel and equipment for players, teams, and fans. Founded in 1971 by Bob Hoder, the business originated from a need for American access to English-style rugby jerseys and has since expanded its catalog, including its own Rugby Imports brand. The company serves college and club teams with a mix of casual country and slogan apparel and fully customized uniforms. Over time the operation moved from a home-based start to its current headquarters, reflecting growth driven by demand for rugby products. After Bob Hoder's passing in 2018, his son Mark Hoder became President and has continued to lead the company. Online sales broaden the reach beyond the storefront to a wide audience of players, fans, and teams.
