The Tampa Mayhem are an American rugby league team based in Tampa, Florida. 2014 was their inaugural season in the USA Rugby League.[1]

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]
