The New York Vintage Whines is an international touring rugby team made up of old boys and old girls. Anyone from any country can become part of the New York Vintage Whines, as long as they play under the auspices of the NYRFC at any Golden Oldies Rugby Festival.
The New York Vintage Whines Rugby Team is made up of men and women 35 years of age and older. Every two years the team travels to Golden Oldies Rugby Festivals around the world. In 1995 they traveled to Christchurch, New Zealand and in 1997 they traveled to Vancouver, Canada. In 1999, they will be attending the festival in Adelaide, South Australia.
The Golden Oldies format encompasses many sports including cricket, field hockey, netball, and rugby. Sponsorship is by Air New Zealand and is similar to the Masters Sport Events held in the United States. Golden Oldies Rugby Festivals attracts 4000 to 5000 people. The Festival in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1995 comprised 124 teams and supporters from 28 countries.
