The '''Calgary Mavericks''' are a Canadian rugby union team based in [[Calgary, Alberta]]. The team plays in the [[Rugby Canada National Junior Championship]] and draws most of its players from the [[Calgary Rugby Union]], one of fourteen Rugby Unions that have rep teams in the RCSL.

The Mavericks play their "home" games at [[Calgary Rugby Park]] in Calgary.

During the sixth season of the Super League the Mavericks became the first team outside of [[British Columbia|B.C.]] to win the league Championship defeating the [[Toronto Xtreme]] (40-24).

==History==
In 1998, [[Rugby Canada]] and the provincial unions agreed to form the [[Rugby Canada Super League]]. Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league. 

In 2009, [[Rugby Canada]] decided to disband the RCSL and replace it with a new U-20 league called the [[Rugby Canada National Junior Championship]]. The Mavericks were chosen as one of the remaining RCSL clubs to enter the newly formed league.
