Gonzaga Rugby Classic Returns for 2022

High School rugby tournaments are making their comebacks and in 2022 expect to see the Gonzaga Rugby Classic return.

The Gonzaga College High School Rugby Boosters has come together to ensure the tournament, which welcomes dozens of teams in a variety of age brackets, back to the Washington DC area.

The weekend of April 23-24 has been set aside for the tournament, with the specific venue to be confirmed.

Initially conceived as a tournament for Jesuit schools, the Gonzaga Rugby Classic has expended to boys High School  teams of all types. Last held in April of 2019, the Gonzaga Classic welcomed 10 Varsity teams, eight JV teams, and six freshman teams.

Gonzaga's varsity program usually wins this event, but that's not a sure thing, and in 2019, the Gonzaga Purple team needed penalty kicks to get past Aspetuck and play in the final (which they won).
