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.
We're down to the DIAA quarterfinals, and by the end of the weekend we will have the final two teams for the May 9 final at Kennesaw State University.
It's a mishmash of teams in the QFs, as some teams qualified last fall, some recently, and some when they were least expected to. Here's a look at the teams, the matchups, and our picks.
Cal State Long Beach defeated Southern California 50-5 Saturday to finish their Gold Coast Conference season 6-0 and move to 17-0 overall.
The 49ers take the #1 seed into the Gold Coast playoffs, with University of San Diego #2, Santa Barbara City College #3, and Cal State Fullerton #4.
Much is on the line this weekend when Claremont Colleges face off with UC Riverside.
This is the Gold Coast DII Conference, which is mostly NSCRO teams - small colleges - and the winner of this weekend’s game will likely be the conference champions.
