The San Diego Barracudas Rugby League Club is proud to announce a historic partnership with Indigenous Mana ahead of the 2026 NRL Las Vegas 9s, one that is focused on cultural connection, community, and creating meaningful opportunities through sport.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to respect, cultural understanding, and using rugby league as a platform for positive impact. With San Diego County home to the highest number of federally recognised Indigenous tribes in the United States, the collaboration holds strong local significance.
The partnership will include cultural engagement, shared training environments, and the development of pathways for Indigenous athletes and leaders, including a formal cultural ceremony in San Diego and joint practices during the Las Vegas 9s period.
It promises to be an exciting first of its kind partnership!

Valeria replaces club founder and former president Ben C Calverley, who said โI couldnโt be leaving the Cudas in better hands. Valeria is a force to be reckoned with both on and off the field, and brings the fierce determination that is needed to drive rugby league in Americaโs Finest City to the next levelโ.

We love you Eli. You will always be at the heart of the Cuda family, as will Amber and Mason.
Yesterday we said goodbye to Eli Welsh. He will stay with us and the club always.

Eli Welsh was everything the Barracudas stands for. He was a captain, friend, husband, father, and many other things; and in each and every single one he excelled and raised everyone else up around him. His joy and love was infectious.
We will miss him.
I love you Eli.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH! Today is a day of recognition, restoration, and celebration, the day when in 1865 the Union Army made its way into Galveston, TX and announced to the people of Texas that all enslaved African Americans were free. A year later, freed men in Texas organized and celebrated "Jubilee Day" on June 19 to celebrate their freedom. We now know that day as Juneteenth.
