Teams are reminded to contact organizers if interested in the High School Girls Rugby National Tournament on May 18th-19th, 2024 at Madison United Rugby in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin.
*Club girls rugby teams will also host their national tournament at Cottage Grove. Club teams will play on Friday and Saturday, May 17th-18th.
These are two separate tournaments with separate registration.
The Girls National High School tournament is for teams that draw players from one community. They do not need to be full varsity teams or even recognized, yet, by school administration. Organizers realize many teams are working towards building these relationships with schools and communities; teams working towards this goal may likely qualify. See the team agreements below for eligibility policies and mission statement goals of the national tournament. The club tournament is for clubs that actively recruit and draw from multiple communities.
Interest in the event has been strong. Eleven teams are already on the expected list of competitors at the National High School Girls Rugby Tournament. Organizers are planning to fill 8 spots in the D1 Championship Bracket and 8 spots in the developmental D2 bracket. Organizers will accommodate any teams interested in competing. This is not an invitational tournament. Teams that are interested just need to express the level of competition they are looking for, and organizers work with teams to find the best fit. Organizers are also working to set up JV or b-side matches for programs that attend.
**update (1/22/24) there are 14 teams signed up already. The event will max out at 16 teams in the two brackets. Some JV matches are still available.
