The Gold Coast Conference of Intercollegiate Rugby (GCCIR) is a US-based college rugby conference that operates under USA Rugby. It has served colleges in the southwestern United States and operated under the Collegiate Rugby Association of America (CRAA).
This was a larger, multi-divisional conference but several higher-division teams have reformed with the California Conference. So this current Gold Coast Conference operates in CRAA's D2.
Despite the loss of a couple of teams the Gold Coast Conference is still up and running and active, with University of San Diego and Claremont Colleges looking like early favorites.
The Gold Coast Collegiate Conference has named its Select Sides selections.
The Gold Coast Men's D1 Conference includes: Cal State Long Beach (LBSO), Claremont Colleges, University of San Diego (USD), Azusa Pacific (APU), Southern California (USC), and Loyola Marymoutn (LMU).
The Gold Coast Conference usually gets decided by the same top teams playing off, and this year is no different.
Claremont Colleges, which plays in the Gold Coast D1 and goes on to the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) playoffs, is one of those teams, as is Cal State Long Beach, and University of San Diego. Last week, Claremont and CSULB battled to a 26-26 tie.
The Gold Coast Men's D1 collegiate conference has selected its MVP and all-conference picks.
The D1AA playoff schedules and dates are to be announced by USA Rugby soon. Here's a quick preview of what's going to happen.
Fall Champion Mary Washington is waiting to play the Spring Champion and will do so on the weekend of May 5.
