NCR Finalizes Championship Dates, Venues for 2023-24

National Collegiate Rugby confirmed its finalized championship weekends for the 2023-24 season.

One of the big successes of NCR is their ability to confirm championship dates and venues early on in the cycle, which makes it much easier for teams to plan.

The Women's 15s championships will be held in Houston, Texas at AVEVA Stadium on December 2-3.

How Auburn Men's Rugby Ended Up in No Man's Land

One of the issues within American collegiate rugby, especially past the most elite teams, is how one defines a division.

For now we will leave the article as initially published until we have confirmed exactly what to change.

US Collegiate Rugby Membership By The Numbers

How many college rugby players are there in the United States?

Seems like you should be able to answer that question fairly easily, but of course it's never that easy.

How many of those players are women? A difficult answer to find, too.

What percentage of those players operate under NCR and what percentage play under other umbrellas? That's a tough one, too.
