Below is a list of USA Rugby's men's collegiate championships, as well as some of the privately run national-level competitions.
USA Rugby ran a DI championship through 2010, and then split DI into DIA and DIAA. Some of the teams in DIA and DIAA have opted out of those playoffs to play in the Varsity Cup.
The national DII playoff was moved from spring to fall in 2013, which is why two championships were held that year. The USA Rugby collegiate 7s championships were moved from fall to spring in 2014, which is why there is no championship in 2014, but there will be in spring of 2015.
