The USA Rugby Organization governs all rugby play
from youth to professional
College rugby is growing fast
and is most popular in California, with UC
Berkeley taking home 26 championships since 1980
It is a club sport, and therefore not part of the NCAA
There is no longer a professional rugby league
in the U.S
Rugby Super League, as it was called, lasted from
1997 - 2012
Even so, The US National Team has a
decent track record
They’ve qualified for six of seven World Cups
And are the reigning Olympic
champions!
…from 1924 (Rugby will be re-instated next year)
They will be competing in this years World Cup in
England
