Men’s NCR Division I (D1) is a top-tier collegiate rugby division organized by National Collegiate Rugby (NCR), featuring the most competitive and well-developed university programs across the country. Membership is based on rugby performance and program strength rather than school size, allowing both large public universities and smaller private institutions to compete at this level. Teams in D1 play regionally during the regular season and advance to national playoffs to determine the champion. The division represents the highest standard of competition within NCR’s collegiate structure, showcasing elite play and program excellence.

Big College Meeting Set for DC

Representatives from National Collegiate Rugby and USA Rugby will be sitting down this weekend in Washington DC to discuss steps toward a sanctioning agreement.

This comes after USA Rugby has been telling USA Rugby-registered college teams that they can't play NCR teams, and referees have been caught up in the crossfire, too.
