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.
Cal State Long Beach came into the 2016 Gold Coast Conference season as defending champions, and with an eye, yet again, on a national title.
But the 49ers got a bit of a shock from lightly-regarded Southern California - Long Beach went on to win 24-17, but it wasn’t easy.
Grand Canyon University notched two accomplishments Saturday.
First off, GCU recorded the team's first conference win in the Gold Coast Conference, after having joined the league this past offseason.
Grand Canyon University opens up their first conference season after a couple of educational games.
UC San Diego has pulled out of the Gold Coast Mens DIAA college conference and will be replaced by Grand Canyon University for the 2016 season.
The University of Southern California Men’s Rugby Program is looking for a new Head Coach.
The position includes all coaching, planning and supervising practices and games; selection of players for games (over which Head Coach will maintain exclusive control); managing players, assistant coaches, and other USCRFC personnel.
