The Florida Collegiate Rugby Conference (FCRC) is a league for men's college rugby teams in Florida, with North and South divisions for the 2025-26 season. Teams compete in a regular season before a playoff and state final in April. Universities such as Florida State, UCF, and the University of Florida are part of the conference, which has a partnership with the Florida Rugby Union and operates under the umbrella of College Rugby Association of America (CRAA), competing in the D1AA postseason in the spring, and also in a D2 postseason.

A Thriller in CRAA D1AA Final

CRAA wrapped up their D1AA season with a weekend of games and in the end one of the most dramatic games of the season, if not the most dramatic.
