National Collegiate Rugby Championship results

This article is about the USA Rugby collegiate national championship. For the rival National Collegiate Rugby tournament, see NSCRO National Championships.

This is a list of results and records for the USA Rugby National Collegiate Men's Rugby Championships, which began in 1980.[1] The 1984–1988 and 1990 editions were played in conjunction with the Annual Pebble Beach Rugby Classic. In 2010, several of the top college teams agreed to form the College Premier League, now known as Division 1-A Rugby to begin play in spring 2011.[2] This list does not include records from the breakaway invitational Varsity Cup Championship held between 2013 and 2017,[3] nor from the rival National Collegiate Rugby Organization's D1 championship that began in 2021.[4]
