Overview
Mission
USA club rugby's core mission is to manage adult, amateur club rugby union competitions - supporting its member unions' competitions and coordinating competitions between its member unions, including national championships, and creating standards for discipline, eligibility, membership, and education.
What it reported doing in 2024
Xvs national playoffs: during the tax year, USA club rugby funded the entirety of the program costs for its xvs national championship finals, and made grants to its member unions to help fund their hosting of the four super regional playoff rounds. The xvs ncs is comprised of four super regional tournaments involving, on average, 16 teams per tournament, across five divisions of play: men's divisions 1, 2, and 3 and women's divisions 1 and 2. The winners of the four super regional tournaments then met in the national finals, featuring semi-final and final rounds to crown a national champion in each of the five referenced divisions. The super regional tournaments are jointly funded by USA club rugby and the local host unions (which are USA club rugby's members). USA club rugby's contributions to the super regionals include payment for referee expenses (travel, lodging, and match fees), trophies, rugby balls and grants to the tournament hosts. The 2024 national championships were wholly funded by USA club rugby, with significant expenses including: facilities rental, referee expenses (travel, lodging, and match fees), trophies, medical staff, streaming video production, and administrative travel. Revenues were generated by apparel sales.
