USA RUGBY and New York State Rugby Conference

USA RUGBY, founded in 1975, is the national governing body for rugby union and is a member of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the International Rugby Board (IRB).  The organization is responsible for the development of youth, high school, collegiate and club athletic programs and ultimately, the USA Eagles, the national team representing the United States in international competition.

USA RUGBY is divided into seven territorial Unions: Mid Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Pacific Coast, Southern California, USA Rugby South and West.  Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, the seven territorial unions are further divided into Local Area Unions (LAU) within the territories.
