Following after the hugely successful US Rugby Foundation Scholarship program to Nelson College, the program is being repeated for 2-24.

In June of 2023 the US Rugby Foundation had the opportunity to provide Rookie Rugby Cleveland with a $5000 dollar grant to help spur the organizations growth. Through the dedication of the Rookie Rugby Cleveland staff, they've used this grant to help galvanize youth athletes through social media.
With the shifting of the USA vs Stade Toulousain from Sunday, September 17 to Saturday, September 16 the US Rugby Foundation has shifted the timing of its US Rugby Hall of Fame event.
Originally planned for Saturday night, the induction proceedings will now begin at 2PM with a pre-ceremony reception, a lunch at 3PM, and the induction ceremonies themselves from 4PM to 6PM.
