Daniel Joseph "Dan" Lyle (born September 28, 1970) is an American former player who played for the United States national rugby union team 45 times from 1994 to 2003, serving as U.S. captain in 24 of those matches. Lyle played number eight.

Lyle debuted for the U.S. national team against Ireland in November 1994 at Lansdowne Road. He first captained the U.S. squad in a match against Japan in June 1996, in the Pacific Rim tournament. He also led the U.S. sevens team to victory in the bowl competition at the Hong Kong Sevens in 1997. Lyle captained the team at the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Lyle appeared for the United States in the 2003 Rugby World Cup, and retired from international play in 2003. Through his national team career, Lyle earned 45 caps for his country, and captained his side in 24 matches, including 11 wins in those matches (at the time a record for the most wins all-time by any U.S. captain; that record has since been broken by Todd Clever).

He joined English club Bath from the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) for the 1996/7 season. He spent seven seasons at Bath and played in 125 matches for the club. He helped them to lift the Heineken Cup title in 1998 with victory over Brive and captained the side for the 2001/2 season. Lyle moved to the Leicester Tigers in 2003.

Lyle was inducted into the USA Rugby Hall of Fame on June 4, 2016, in Philadelphia, PA.

As rugby players, we have the opportunity to capitalize on our network and physical strength to reach out to our communities, and communities of our peers on the pitch, to provide aid to friends and families. This year's team is not so much a club, but a gathering of the rugby community to help those in need.

Rugby Relief invites the rugby community to both request to join their effort, and to recommend a family which needs some extra hands.

Currently the command center is run, in collaboration, by members of the Louisiana Lagniappe Womens Rugby, Austin Huns Rugby, and Austin Valkyries Womens Rugby. Aid is provided free of charge for families. Traveling rugby players are kindly hosted by local players, and much of the gear support is graciously provided by donors.

Rugby players and friends gather by taking time off of work and putting miles on their vehicles, taking time away from their own work and family lives. Monetary donations help Rugby Relief keep this going by providing provisions such as tools and food for volunteers and families.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Rugby Relief and out of town and local rugby clubs aided over 150 families by helping them clear debris, muck out houses and tear out sheet rock readying these homes for refurbishing. And, as the Harvey clean up began, news of Irma heading for Florida broke. Rugby Relief stepped up for that, as well. 2017 Response Form
