What is USA Rugby?
USA Rugby is the national governing body of rugby union in the United States — founded in 1975, headquartered in Glendale, Colorado, a member union of World Rugby with more than 110,000 members across clubs, colleges and youth rugby.[1]
What does USA Rugby govern?
The national teams — the Men's and Women's Eagles in fifteens and sevens, with the women's sevens team an Olympic bronze medalist at Paris 2024 — plus national club competition, college rugby sanctioning, referee and coach certification, and the sport's development pipeline toward the home World Cups of 2031 and 2033.[1] [2]
Why does USA Rugby matter?
Every American cap, national-team selection and sanctioned competition runs through the union — and with the men's and women's Rugby World Cups awarded to the United States, USA Rugby stands at the center of the sport's biggest growth project anywhere.[1] [2]
