The Rugby East Conference is a premier collegiate rugby conference in the United States, which determines its champion based on regular-season records rather than a playoff. The conference consists of Army West Point, Life University, University of Mary Washington, Mount St. Mary's University, U.S. Naval Academy (Navy), Penn State University, and Southern Virginia University.
Rugby East has announced its fall conference schedule for 2025.
The conference is currently seven teams: Army West Point, Navy, Mary Washington, Mount St. Mary's, Penn State, Life University, and Southern Virginia. This allows every team to play each other in what is the toughest collegiate conference, top-to-bottom, in the country.
