The East Coast Rugby Conference is a member of the ACRC and USA Rugby and competes in division 1AA collegiate competition. The conference occupies the geographic footprint of New England and the capital district of New York. The seven member teams compete in fifteens competition in the fall semester and sevens competition in the spring.

The conference’s members have experienced success at every level, culminating in deep runs in both USA Rugby and ACRC playoffs and have won multiple national championships. In sevens, ECRC teams have pushed ACRC [1], CRC, and USA Rugby competitors to the max, and have brought home trophies in all three avenues of competition.
