The High Peaks Rugby Conference is a regional collegiate rugby league under National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) that spans schools primarily from the Rocky Mountain and Mountain West region. For the 2024 season, the conference expanded significantly by merging with the former Rocky Mountain Conference and adding more than a dozen new teams, making it one of the largest and most competitive college-rugby conferences in the country.

The Rocky Mountain men's D2 college conference has named its all-conference selections:
