The Tri-State Rugby Conference was first set-up in 2012-13 when USA Rugby encouraged universities and colleges to form conferences rather than remain part of their Local Area Unions (LAUs). The majority of the collegiate teams that comprised the Metropolitan New York Rugby Union became part of the Tri-State Collegiate Rugby Conference.

Tri-State Men’s Teams 

The Conference has a Division III and a Developmental Division. Following regular season games the DIII winner will advance to the National Collegiate Division III postseason. 

Tri-State Women’s Teams 

The Conference has teams in Division II, the North and South Divisions, as well as a Division III. All have the opportunity to advance in Fall Championships run by National Collegiate Rugby.

Can Sacred Heart Repeat in Tri-State?

The Tri-State Conference kicks off in two weeks and we could once again see a new champion. 

Two years ago RPI tok the conference, and while the Engineers made the playoffs this year, they weren't as strong and didn't quite pull off the repeat. Last fall, Sacred Heart rolled to a conference title, but, as with many teams, they have had to deal with some turnover.
