Two men's XVs and a Mokum combination side, a women's XV and a full youth section: around 500 players, from age six to veterans, all under one set of colours.
The men's section runs two XVs plus the Mokum combination side, entered jointly with Rugby Club Amsterdam — more than 100 players of 20-plus nationalities across the senior squads. The 1st XV plays in the Ereklasse, the Dutch top division; the 2nd XV stepped up to the Eersteklasse for 2026–27 with a fourth promotion in four seasons.
For 2026/27 the 1st XV opens a new chapter under Daniel Geurs, a Sydney-born coach appointed in May 2026 after twelve years in Sydney's Shute Shield, two in the Netherlands and a spell coaching Singapore's national team.
Mokum is AAC's social and veterans rugby — new starters, returners, and the old hands who built the club. Entered jointly with Rugby Club Amsterdam, it's the usual first landing pad for internationals arriving in Amsterdam: one run-out a week, no pressure, clubhouse after.
Eight-time national champions and 2024–25 Dames Ereklasse winners, AAC's women are the second most successful women's club in the Netherlands all-time — behind only SRC Thor (12 titles), ahead of RUS Utrecht (6). They reached the 2025–26 final on 30 May and finished runners-up to RC Waterland.
A single XV carries the section, built on a simple idea: rugby has a place for every shape and temperament. Competitive ambition on the pitch; barbecues, tournaments and an annual trip off it. Five AAC women feature in the Netherlands' senior and development pools.
The youth section welcomes children from age six; most start between eight and twelve, and no experience is needed. Seven age groups carry players all the way to the senior game, with a recent class sending six players into Netherlands age-grade squads in a single season.
AAC also runs a joint schools rugby-education project in Amsterdam-West with neighbouring RugbyClub Amsterdam, plus a shared Colts cluster so both clubs can field a full under-18 age group.

You don't need experience or a rugby background to start. Many of our members played their first game here — a lot of them internationals who arrived in Amsterdam and wanted a way in. Coaching starts from the basics.
The simplest thing is to come to a session: boots and a mouthguard if you have them, and if not, come anyway.
Training runs every Tuesday and Thursday at Sportpark De Eendracht. Turn up, or email the club first.
