11.28.2016College Men

Below is a list of all the national-level Men's college championships in US rugby history.

The list includes the all-star championships, which ended in 2011 and have not been brought back, and also includes privately-run competitions such as the CRC 7s, Varsity Cup, and NSCRO.

For those younger readers, a quick reminder that before 2011, there was only one DI-level championship, the Division 1 championship. Then in 2011 DI was split into DIA (then called the College Premier League), and DIAA, and then later the Varsity Cup was developed.

Here are the lists:
