The Liberty Rugby Conference (LRC) is a collegiate men’s rugby union league that brings together universities primarily from the northeastern United States, including schools in Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey. 

Operating under the umbrella of National Collegiate Rugby (NCR), the conference fields teams across multiple divisions — chiefly D1, D1AA, and D2, with each conference sending teams to NCR's national playoff.

Victories by Northeaster, Boston College, and ... Buffalo leave those teams unbeaten.
