British Columbia Rugby Football Union
# British Columbia Rugby Football Union

The British Columbia Rugby Football Union was a Canadian football league, founded on September, 1, 1926. It lasted for 15 seasons, disbanding in 1941 as the Second World War brought most league football to a close. It was a member of the Western Canada Rugby Football Union along with the Alberta Rugby Football Union, Saskatchewan Rugby Football Union and the Manitoba Rugby Football Union.

In 1941, the Vancouver Grizzlies joined the WIFU and lasted only a season. Later, in 1954 Vancouver was awarded a Western Interprovincial Football Union franchise: the British Columbia Lions.
