Men’s Division 1AA (D1AA) represents a highly competitive tier of collegiate rugby in the United States, featuring programs governed by both National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) and the College Rugby Association of America (CRAA). It serves as a bridge between elite Division I play and developing Division II or Small College levels, offering strong regional competition and a pathway to national championships under each organization’s structure. While NCR and CRAA operate independently, both use the D1AA designation for schools with established programs that may not have the depth or resources of top-tier D1A teams.

Men D1AA Rankings 2026-27 Week 6
We took a break last week but all that did was force us into a bunch of wild changes.
Four new ranked teams, three teams moving up eight spots or more (including Principia jumping 17), and some big fallers, too.
We suspect some of these recent results might be thrown out as teams figure out what they have. But, really, this division is all over the place right now.
