AAC Rugby Ladies Crowned Dutch National Champions in Dames Ereklasse Final

Amsterdam, May 25, 2025 — The AAC Rugby Ladies have etched their names into Dutch rugby history, claiming the 2024-2025 Dames Ereklasse title with a dominant 17-0 victory over Rugbyende Utrechtse Studenten (RUS) in a fiercely contested final held in Amsterdam.

On a crisp afternoon at their home ground, AAC delivered a performance worthy of champions — relentless, composed, and utterly commanding. From the opening whistle, the Amsterdam side imposed their game plan with surgical precision, refusing to allow their opponents even a single point on the board.

The final was more than just a match; it was a showcase of grit, heart, and high-level rugby. AAC’s defensive wall held firm against every RUS attempt, while their clinical execution in attack ensured a comfortable lead that never looked in doubt.

Roared on by a passionate home crowd, the AAC Ladies played with unmistakable pride and unity. Each try, tackle, and turnover was met with thunderous applause as the team closed out a perfect performance on the biggest stage in Dutch women’s rugby.

“This win represents everything we’ve worked for,” said one AAC player after the final whistle. “We gave it everything — for each other, for the club, and for Amsterdam.”

While AAC celebrated a deserved victory, credit must also be given to RUS, who fought with determination and resilience throughout the match. The Utrecht side clearly came into the final well-prepared, having trained intensively for the occasion. Their commitment and effort were evident in every phase of play — but unfortunately, things didn’t quite fall into place for them on the day. Despite the result, RUS can hold their heads high after a strong season and a hard-fought final.

The 17-0 scoreline reflects more than just superiority on the day; it speaks to the months of hard training, tactical discipline, and unwavering belief that this AAC squad has built throughout the season.

With this triumph, AAC Rugby Ladies are once again national champions — a title that cements their legacy and brings immense pride to their club and the city they represent.
