GRR: USA U18s
The USA age=grade teams are going to be active this year despite World Rugby's drawback from U20 action.
World Rugby is reportedly coming back with a new-look U20 world competition for 2026. As it is, this year, there's nothing, so USA rugby is focusing in part on a U19 team that can be developed for U20 competition a year later.
USA Rugby High Performance and USA Youth & High School Rugby have announced a series of regional talent identification camps as part of the High School Pathway program.
These camps are set up to find and develop rugby talent across the country, with a goal toward populating the U18s teams (boys and girls) and setting players up for higher honors.
USA Rugby Men’s High Performance Pathways are gearing up for another key assembly this holiday break, with the annual Winter Talent ID Camp scheduled for Dec 26 - 31 at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista.
A win and some tension punctuated the USA U18 Boys Day One at the Global Youth 7s.
The Americans won their first game comfortably despite not kicking a single conversion, and ended the second game opting not to take a conversion, hoping for a comeback.
It was a good day for the USA U18 Girls team at the Global Youth 7s, as the squad finished the day 2-0 in Auckland, New Zealand.
