About Rugby NorCal

RNC is a California 501(c)3 non-profit.

Youth Rugby in Northern California has a storied history. Our oldest teams started competing in the 70’s at the High School level.

After much growth and development, Rugby California was created to govern youth and high school rugby in the entire state. After two years, it became evident that the State was too large for one organization to govern.

In August, 2010, the Northern California Youth Rugby Association (NCYRA) was formally established. It was governed by a Board of Directors and the various Conference Representatives, including a Referee Society Member. On February 4th, 2015, the NCYRA officially changed its name to Rugby NorCal.

SportStars is the Official Media Partner of Rugby NorCal.
