We are excited to kick off the Spring 2025 men's rugby season! We compete at the D1AA level in the Northwest College Rugby Conference (NCRC) and are governed by National Collegiate Rugby (NCR). Our conference is stacked with some of the top schools in the nation, including Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, Boise State, and Western Washington, making every season a battle worth fighting.
In recent years, we've been extremely successful at the regional level, winning our conference division for the past 2 years, but taking the next step to the national stage has been a challenge. As one of just four NCR-sanctioned schools in the NCRC (others are sanctioned by College Rugby Association of America) - and the only one at the D1AA level - we face unique obstacles. Every D1AA National Qualifier tournament in recent history has been held in the Midwest or East Coast, which means sending our squad of 25 racks up hefty travel costs.
Our goal each and every year has been to finally make that next step and compete on the national stage in hopes of bringing a National Championship back to Pullman, but in order to do that, we need your help to ensure we have the resources necessary to compete at our best. With your support, we can break through these barriers and show the nation what Cougar Rugby is all about!
What We Need:
Your contribution will enable us to train, compete, and represent Washington State University with the determination and spirit we are known for. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us pursue our goals and ensures we can proudly don the Crimson and Gray on the field.
Be sure to keep up with us on social media!
