Program information for NRU select side teams.

NRU Men's Collegiate All-Stars

The Northeast Rugby Union Men's Collegiate All-Star program annually selects the top college-enrolled players from schools and clubs throughout the territory which includes New England, New York and northern New Jersey.

Through a combination of year-round training camps, tournaments, and selector feedback, an elite team is assembled every spring to compete in the USA Rugby College Allstar Tournament at the end of the school year.

The June tournament, currently hosted in Glendale, CO, serves as a vehicle for All-American honors and high performance player identification for the collegiate and senior national squads.
