The 2015 Boys High School Rugby National Championship will be held on May 14-16, 2015.

The location of the 2015 tournament will be selected in the coming weeks, although the smart money is on an East Coast location. It has been confirmed that Elkart, Ind., which hosted the tournament the last two years, will not host in 2015.

The Boys High School Rugby National Championships fills the gap in elite high school rugby competition left by the discontinuation of the High School National Championship, and the Boys High School Rugby National Championship attracts the top high school teams in the nation to this premier event.

The tournament will include separate competitions for boys’ single high school teams and multiple high school club teams. The competition will consist of three 60-minute matches over the course of three days – beginning on Thursday afternoon, May 14th and concluding on Saturday, May 16th.

Teams interested in competing in the tournament are invited to submit an application to the tournament committee. The applications will be available by early January and the deadline for applications will be February 1.

After a thorough selection process based on teams’ applications, the twelve most qualified teams (in each of the two separate competitions: single-school and high school club) will be sent invitations by February 15. In mid-May, the 24 teams will be seeded based on each team’s performance throughout the spring 2015 season. The eight top-seeded teams in each category will play in two separate competitions for the Single High School and High School Club Championships. The four lowest seeded teams in each category will play in a single competition for the Combined Cup.

The Boys High School Rugby National Championship is NOT planned, organized, or run by USA Rugby.
