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.
