The Brumbies (formerly known as the ACT Brumbies, for sponsorship reasons referred to as CA Brumbies) are a Super 14 rugby union team based in Canberra, Australia and named for the wild horses which inhabit Canberra's hinterland. The team represents the ACT and Southern New South Wales regions. The Brumbies region roughly coincides with the area of southeastern Australia in which all three of Australia's historically major codes of football—Australian rules football, rugby league and rugby union—are widely popular. In most of the country, union takes a back seat to either Aussie rules or league, if not to both. Image File history File links Brumbies_CA_thumbnail_image. ...

The Brumbies were formed in 1996 to provide a third Australian team for the newly-formed Super 12 (now Super 14) competition. It was predicted that the Brumbies, made up of so called 'rejects' — players not wanted by the other two teams — would crash very, very quickly. Since then, they have enjoyed more success than the other two (the New South Wales Waratahs and the Queensland Reds), reaching five finals and winning two, being the only Australian team to have done so. They defeated South Africa's Sharks 36-6 in 2001 and won the competition for the second time on May 22, 2004 with a 47-38 victory over the Crusaders of New Zealand's South Island. 1996 (MCMXCVI) is a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...
