This year, the Dragons competed in the newly-formed "Toronto Premier" division: a division comprised of teams from the former Keenan Division and the top teams from the former Toronto A division. This 5th place marks an improvement over last season, and solidifies the Dragons placing in the more competitive division.

- Expanded indoor pre-season training.
- Growth in membership for the mens rugby teams.
- Growth in membership for the under-18 rugby team
- Establishment of an under-16 team for the first time in club history.
- Establishment of an intra-club minis exhibition program
- Welcoming Castle Building Centres as a new sponsor for the juniors program
- Renewed partnership with the Duke Pubs, with the Duke of York as our home pub, and competing in the inaugural Duke Derby.
- Mens tour to New York City

The Toronto Dragons rugby club is based out of downtown Toronto. All of our practices and home games are accessible by TTC.
Preview of August 13th rugby Saturday August 13 looks to be a great day full of rugby for the Toronto Dragons. The club will host 4 events at Eglinton Flats in Toronto.
The day starts at 11:00 with the Toronto Dragons juniors taking on the York Yeomen in an exhibition post season match. This looks to be an exciting game as the improving U16 team has been improving and is eager for a win after the mid-summer break.
At 12:00 the exhibition (non-contact) minis program continues for boys and girls 0-12 years. Here, the main goal is having fun and learning about rugby. Details are posted here.
The Dragons mens teams host Cobourg at 1:30 and 3:00. The Toronto first team is currently 2-1 at home. They are coming off a character-building 80th minute win against the Saracens, and they are looking to continue that momentum into the second half of the season.
Supporters are encouraged to come out and enjoy a day a rugby in Toronto. As usual, festivities continue post-game at the Duke of York Pub on 39 Prince Arthur Ave in downtown Toronto.
