The Raleigh Bridge Club
Take your game to the next level
About Us
The Raleigh Bridge Club was founded in 1938 to bring duplicate bridge to the citizens of Raleigh, the Triangle and area visitors. The RBC sponsors club games on Tuesdays and Thursdays and two sectional tournaments each year. The RBC is a not-for-profit organization, governed by an elected Board of Directors, and managed by a dedicated team of volunteers.
