The Liberty Rugby Conference (LRC) is a collegiate men’s rugby union league that brings together universities primarily from the northeastern United States, including schools in Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey. 

Operating under the umbrella of National Collegiate Rugby (NCR), the conference fields teams across multiple divisions — chiefly Division I, Division I-AA, and Division II — offering a structured competitive pathway toward national championship tournaments such as the Collegiate Rugby Championship (CRC) 7s.

Iona Shocks Siena in Liberty Nailbiter

In a somewhat surprising result Iona logged their first conference victory of the season, holding off Siena 30-29 on Alumni Weekend at Iona.

The day was also the day for announcing inductions into the Iona Rugby Hall of Fame, and that was a big event in and of itself. However, Iona still came into the game underdogs.

Big Wins for Northeastern, BC as They Lead in Liberty D1AA

Northeastern is still on top of the Liberty D1AA after a 67-5 win over UConn.

For Head Coach Ed Turbridy, success has come when his team is composed. When they play unflustered and organized on attack, with freshman flyhalf Harry Johnston pulling the strings, they score tries.

And then they combine that with toughness; prop Simon Coleman setting the tone up front.
