History

The Tampa Mayhem were founded in early 2014 by a group of local rugby enthusiasts, led by Billy Neilson and Dan "Otter" Slagle. [2]

In 2021, the Mayhem had their greatest season to date, upsetting the undefeated Jacksonville Axemen in the South Conference Championship, 18-14 [3] , before defeating the Delaware Black Foxes 60-10 in the USARL Grand Final. [4] The following season, Tampa advanced to their second consecutive Grand Final, though they were defeated by Jacksonville 36-12. [5]
