Calgary Rugby Foot-ball Club was one of the first football teams based in Calgary, Alberta, formed March 14, 1906 at Calgary City Hall.[1] It was part of the Calgary Rugby Football Union. Calgary City Rugby Foot-ball Club played its first game on October 31, 1907, defeating the Strathcona Rugby Foot-ball Club 15–0 at Calgary.
Calgary RFC was renamed the Calgary Tigers in 1908 and joined the Alberta Rugby Football League in the same year. It later joined the then newly formed Western Canada Rugby Football Union in 1911 and won the first-ever Western championship that year. The team would change names, fold and be reborn several names in next few decades:
beat Edmonton Eskimos in ARFU playoff, 2 games total points 16–15; beat University of Alberta Varsity in ARFU championship finals, 2 games total points 21–1; lost to Winnipeg Victorias 11–9 in western final
