A truly special 1983 USA Eagles long sleeve rugby jersey by Canterbury of New Zealand — most likely produced for the Eagles’ historic tour to Australia that year. Featuring the old-school white CCC collar and made from heavy-duty cotton, this is a classic from the days when rugby jerseys were built to last.

The 1983 tour saw the USA face top Australian state sides and take on the Wallabies in a full test match in Sydney — only the second test between the two nations. Now 42 years old, this is one of the oldest jerseys ever offered on Classic Rugby, and it’s remarkable how well it has stood the test of time. Still bright red, with no significant flaws, this piece is in excellent condition and represents a rare slice of USA rugby history.
