The East Coast Rugby Conference (ECRC) is a college rugby conference, founded in 2011 after USA Rugby restructured collegiate leagues. Historically, it featured teams from the northeastern United States in USA Collegiate D1AA rugby. However, the collegiate rugby landscape has been fluid, and a major reorganization occurred in early 2025.

In February 2025, five teams from the Rugby East Conference left to form the Atlantic Rugby Conference (ARC) within the National Collegiate Rugby (NCR). This change significantly reshaped the competitive landscape for rugby programs on the East Coast.
