The 21st Annual Girls High School Rugby National Tournament
for single school programs will take place the weekend of May 16th-17th,
2020 at Notre Dame College in Cleveland, Ohio.
“Notre Dame College is
excited to offer its facilities for the upcoming National Championship. There
are incredible opportunities available for girls rugby players and we want to
help showcase this, while providing a professional atmosphere for student
athletes at the high school level,” added Luke Markovich, Head Women’s Coach at
Notre Dame College.
The National
Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) women’s collegiate program will host
matches on Mueller Field and Normandy Field. NDC
has hosted three Rugby Ohio State Championships in the last three years.
NGCC schools chair John
Klein noted, “Bringing the national tournament to another new location is important
to the girls rugby community, especially when it helps bring in new
competitors. We are encouraged whenever
rugby can help rugby at different levels and are thankful for the NIRA program
at NDC for hosting all these girls teams.”
Single School teams
will compete in a quarterfinal and semifinal Saturday May 16th with
final matches Sunday May 17th.
Developing programs are encouraged to compete against teams they might
not normally ever compete against. Organizers
are once again planning multiple brackets of competition; an eight-team
division one competition, along with an eight-team second division. Planners are considering a JV Bracket,
perhaps of 10s, pending interest.
Klein stressed that “single
school competition does not mean teams need be school recognized varsity programs
in order to compete. Teams must strive to draw their members from one community.
The goal, however far off it may be in any community, is getting a team in
every school in America. Some teams from
last year were considered a club at their schools or had other varying degrees
of relationships with their schools.
We’re seeing this pay off.
Heading into this year another school has moved to more fully adopt a
team with full school support that has competed numerous times at nationals following
this pathway.”
The
school brackets could feature returning competition from throughout the
Midwest, the South and the West. Organizers are encouraged by the expectation
of renewed participation from several East teams who have responded to early
surveys. “Having teams from different
territories makes this tournament a National event,” noted Klein.
Questions
regarding registration and policies should be directed to National Coaches
Committee member John Waliszewski. Venue
and city information should be directed to Luke Markovich at NDC.

Girls Rugby National Invitational 2013
2013 Girls’ High School
National Invitational Tournament Announced
(image of 2012 "National Champion" trophy awarded by USA Rugby)
The 14th Annual Girls’ High School
National Invitational Tournament (NIT) will be held Saturday-Sunday, May 18-19,
2013, in Milwaukee, Wisc. Organized by the National Girls’ Coaches Committee
(NGCC), the elite girls’ rugby tournament will return to a 24-team field,
comprised of three divisions.
Opening ceremonies will kick off the event on the morning of Saturday, May 18, to be followed by quarterfinals and semifinals for each of three divisions. The finals for each division will be played Sunday morning and early afternoon.
The first girls’ NIT was held in 2000 and involved six teams. As a result of increasing competition and the desire for a venue to challenge top high school programs, the event expanded and grew to include 24 top teams in three divisions by 2007. USA Rugby sponsored the national tournament from 2008 through 2012 and contracted the event to 8 teams. With USA Rugby withdrawing sponsorship of both the boys and girls national tournaments in the coming year, the NGCC has reorganized the NIT to continue the tradition of a high school girls national championship tournament.
Competitive high school girls’ teams wishing to compete must return an application along with a $50 fee no later than Sunday January 13th. A non-refundable entry fee of $500 along with a $500 deposit will be required to accept a bid to the NIT. The deposit will be returned upon arrival at the event. Divisions and seeding will be decided the week of the tournament and take into account current records, strength of schedule, and the most recent regional and state playoff competitions.
Inquiries may be directed to members of the NGCC and tournament hosts. We welcome and encourage those teams with aspirations of high-level play to this highly competitive event entering its 14th year.
Regards;
