National Collegiate Rugby membership dues will not increase for the 2025-2026 season. Despite increasing cost pressures, the fees will remain flat while we continue providing and expanding the services offered to players, coaches, and teams across the nation.

‍

NCR strives to be less reliant on membership dues focusing more on areas like streaming licensing, event ticket sales, and sponsorships. These efforts continue to strengthen our financial resilience while allowing us to invest in the future of college rugby.

‍

National Collegiate Rugby is proud to serve over 20,000 student athletes, as college rugby continues to grow. Being part of a large and united community provides numerous benefits, from shared resources and networking opportunities, to exposure on a national stage. The scale of NCR also helps us advocate more effectively for the future of college rugby.

‍

Going forward, NCR will continue to invest in our great sport, ensuring that our members have access to the best technology, championship pathways and national events. This includes improvements to our membership platform, which will streamline communication and services for players and teams, as well as additional live match streaming opportunities. One of our strategic goals is to focus on making college rugby more accessible and visible to fans, athletes, and recruits across the country.

‍

We will continue to invest in grassroots support through initiatives like the Emerging Team Grants and Post-Season Tournament Grants. These programs are designed to help develop and strengthen new teams, ensuring that college rugby remains accessible to players across all levels. 

‍

We’re proud of what our members have accomplished so far, and we’re even more excited about what’s to come. The future of college rugby is bright.
