Twin Cities Gemini


The Twin Cities Gemini are an American semi-professional women's rugby union team based in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. The team was founded in 2025 and is scheduled to play in the inaugural Women's Elite Rugby season.

History

The Twin Cities Gemini name refers to the zodiac sign of the twins that is represented by intertwined snakes, which mimicks the way that the Mississippi River winds through Minnesota. The colors and design of the crest utilizes the colors of Deep Venom, Serpent Green, and Ice Blue that are often found in the aurora borealis that appears in the northern Minnesota skies, while also embracing the twin representation of the entangled snakes.
Former Eagles, Sylvia Braaten, was appointed as the franchise's first Head Coach; she represented the United States at the 2014 and 2017 Rugby World Cup's. The T.C. Gemini's named Emerson Allen, Abbey Jacobs, Marisa Hall, Katrina Nunes, and Tatyana Reed as their five foundational members. The side will be playing their matches at the TCO Stadium in Eagan, Minnesota.
The team is managed by Senior GM Nick Donnelly and Assistant GM Rachel Pierce.
