USA Eagles Supporter Rugby Ball Size 5 Gilbert

This Gilbert ball proudly displays the colors of the American Eagles — red, white and blue — with the screen-printed USA Rugby logo. Designed in size 5 (standard adult format), it is aimed at supporters who want a functional collector's item to play with friends, train or simply show their passion for American rugby. The synthetic latex bladder offers a classic bounce and good pressure retention (9–10 psi recommended), while the standard grip allows a correct hold for passes and recreational play.

Gilbert equips supporters around the world with balls in the colors of major nations — this USA model joins the supporter range that celebrates the iconic teams of international rugby. The synthetic cover withstands outdoor conditions (grass, artificial turf, dry or wet ground), without requiring the upkeep of a competition ball. Inflated to the correct pressure with a standard pump, it keeps its shape and responsiveness for several seasons of amateur use.

Can this ball be used for amateur matches?

Yes, size 5 is suitable for adults in recreational matches or training sessions. This ball is not competition-approved, but it is perfectly playable.

What pressure is needed to inflate the ball?

Between 9 and 10 psi. Use a pump with a pressure gauge to avoid overinflating and to preserve the latex bladder.

Does the ball resist humidity?

The synthetic cover handles humidity well. After use in the rain, dry it with a cloth before storing it.

Care tips

Clean the synthetic cover with a damp cloth after use on muddy ground. Never use harsh detergents. Inflate with a ball pump fitted with a pressure gauge to respect the indicated pressure and avoid deforming the bladder. Store half-deflated in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Design

Gilbert designs this supporter ball with a robust synthetic cover and a latex bladder that ensures a natural bounce. The standard grip — less pronounced than on a match ball — makes holding it easy at all levels without any break-in period. The red-white-blue tricolor screen print reproduces the visual codes of the American flag, with the USA Rugby emblem positioned for maximum legibility during play. This choice of materials allows an accessible price while guaranteeing adequate durability for regular amateur use.

Team: USA Eagles

The American national rugby team, nicknamed «The Eagles», currently ranks 12th in the world rankings.
