The California Collegiate Conference is a regional collegiate rugby conference affiliated with the College Rugby Association of America (CRAA) that operates two levels, D1A and D1AA. 

The league realignment in 2022-23 marked its expansion and formal establishment of the two divisions, with plans for promotion and relegation between the levels going forward.

For the 2025-26 season California Conference has added University of San Diego and UCLA to their D1A level.

ARC, SJSU to NorCal D1AA Final

ARC and San Jose State will meet up in the final of the NorCal D1AA conference next week after both scored over 70 in their semifinals Saturday.

ARC got two tries from Trevaun Robinson, two tries from Jonathan Nawasa, and seven more on top of that, with nine converted for a 75-3 win.

Head Coach Zach Swithenbank will be happier, perhaps, with holding Chicago State to zero tries.
