Old Resian Club

What Old Resian Club does

Old Resian Club (ORC) is a private community sports club founded on May 5, 1942, and headquartered at Wilde 1198 in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina (the Grantfield facility). The club operates competitive programs in two sports — rugby and field hockey — across a full age and gender spectrum: from escuelita/mini rugby (M7–M9) through juveniles, senior Plantel Superior, and four competitive hockey lines (A, B, C, D) spanning Sub 12 through Primera División, with both female and male participation. Core members are individual rugby and hockey players, supplemented by social members participating in the club's vida social (social life), events, and the online merchandise store.

The club's competitive footprint includes the Torneo Regional del Litoral (TRL) for men's rugby (won in 2019, first title in 77 years) and women's rugby (won 2021), plus the Asociación de Hockey del Litoral (AHL) leagues across multiple age categories, with recent titles in Sub 14 A (2026 Apertura), Sub 16 A (2023 Super Final, 2023 Litoral A), and various B-line championships. Notable talent outputs include Tomás Lizazú, who debuted with Argentina's Los Pumas 7s in 2021. International fixtures hosted at Grantfield include Los Pumas vs Barbarians and ORC vs Combinado de Sudafrica (October 2014).

Commercially, ORC is a subscription/membership-driven entity with no disclosed equity funding and no technology platform. Revenue comes primarily from member fees (aranceles) funding operations, infrastructure (including the May 2026 lighting of Cancha 6), and sports programs, plus online merchandise sales (championship shirts) through the club's Store Online. Distribution runs through the physical Grantfield facility, a self-serve member portal (sistemaorc.org.ar), and a Facebook presence (oldresiancluboficial). The club is governed by elected autoridades, operates on a community-led GTM motion, and competes as a member club of UAR, URR, AHL, and FUAR.
