National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) is the largest governing body for collegiate rugby in the United States, supporting programs of all sizes and divisions, including Division I, II, and III. 

Formerly the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO), it rebranded in 2020 to reflect its expanded scope. NCR provides competition, helps develop student-athletes and teams, and organizes national championship events for both men's and women's 15s and 7s rugby.
