It is most likely that rugby got its start in BC in the late 1860 s or early 1870 s when brief mention of football appeared in print, but most certainly it was played regularly after 1876 in Victoria by local players and sailors on the British ships stationed at Esquimalt. Vancouver s first match was in 1887 just two years before the BCRU was organized in New Westminster . The first clubs, Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, had a few home-and-home games until 1895 when the McKechnie Cup was donated for play among these three clubs. Nanaimo dropped out of the competition for a short time but when the Vancouver and Victoria Rugby Unions were organized in 1907, the McKechnie Cup matches were strongly contested. Rugby was played mainly in Vancouver and Victoria where more were organized after 1907 but Cowichan, Nanaimo , Kelowna and Kamloops also had teams briefly. When football fell into disfavour by many United States colleges and universities in 1905, rugby became the game of choice at Stanford University , the University of California and several other colleges in California . Up to 1913, exchanges between Victoria, Vancouver and the two universities took place annually for the J. Cooper Keith Trophy.
