Division 1-A Rugby (formerly known as the College Premier Division) is the highest level of men's college rugby within the United States and is administered by USA Rugby. Division 1-A rugby is modeled after NCAA athletic competitions, with the 40 D1-A rugby schools divided into seven conferences: East, Midwest, Rocky Mountain, California, Big Ten, Lonestar River, and Independent.
The regular season sees all teams in the conference play one another, with the two top seeds qualifying for the playoffs. Playoffs are a single-elimination format, occurring each year in April and May, with the winner of D1-A declared the National Champion.{{cite web |title=College Rugby Association of America Releases First Slate of 2022 Championship Playoff Brackets |url=https://usa.rugby/news/college-rugby-association-of-america-releases-first-slate-of-2022-championship-playoff-brackets-202297 |website=USA Rugby |date=April 2022 |access-date=18 April 2023}} Regular seasons for most conferences are played in the spring, although some cold-weather conferences, such as the Big Ten Universities, play their regular season in the fall.
The competition's first season was played during 2011 and consisted of teams from 31 schools from across the United States. The first ever match of the competition was played on Friday March 4, the Arizona State Sun Devils hosted the Colorado Buffaloes at the Arizona State University Soccer Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.{{cite web|url=http://www.royallrugby.com/rugby-news/college-premier-division-set-to-launch/ |title=College Premier Division Set to Launch | Royall Rugby |access-date=2011-06-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324203642/http://www.royallrugby.com/rugby-news/college-premier-division-set-to-launch/ |archive-date=2012-03-24 }} The 2011 final was played at Rio Tinto Stadium, in Sandy, Utah, on the 21 May 2011.
Several players who have excelled in the top-level competitions in college rugby have also represented their country as part of the United States national under-20 rugby union team or the All Americans rugby union team.

{{see also|History of rugby union in the United States|college rugby}}
A group of British Army officers organized a game of rugby against the students of McGill University (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) in 1865; the Canadians were so enamored of the game that they decided to continue to play football by the Rugby code. In 1874 McGill organized two games of football against Harvard, one was played under Harvard's rules, the other under "McGill" rugby rules.[http://www.rugbyfootballhistory.com/USA.html Rugby in USA], Rugby Football History.

These four colleges formed the Intercollegiate Football Association (IFA), an organization that eventually expanded to become the "Ivy League." In fact, the governing body of all American intercollegiate varsity sports, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) traces its roots to the IFA and is thus a product of rugby rather than any of the sports it now governs.
By 1886 the Yale coach Walter Camp had modified rugby's rules in order to solve the problem of tackled players lying on the ball by introducing a series of four downs to gain ten yards; ironically in the same year the Rugby Football Union in England solved the same problem by requiring that tackled players release the ball. This is still one of the most fundamental differences between Rugby Union and American Football but one further modification, that of allowing one forward pass per down, was suggested by the Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne which, when accepted in 1905, gave rise to that distinctly American form of football.
Around the turn of the century American football was being frowned upon for its violence. Publication of graphic photographs of a harsh game between Swarthmore College and the University of Pennsylvania{{Cite web|url=http://symonsez.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/when-a-president-threatened-to-abolish-football-in-the-united-states/|title = When a President Threatened to Abolish Football in the United States|date = 10 October 2010}} caused a stir; President Theodore Roosevelt was forced to insist upon reform or abolition of the game. During this period of uncertainty, rugby made a brief but important reappearance in many colleges, most notably at the University of California and at Stanford. It was Stanford that supplied most of the players to the two US Olympic rugby teams (1920 and 1924), along with Santa Clara University and the University of California, who claimed fame by winning both gold medals. As 1924 was the last time the Olympic Games staged a rugby competition, this made the USA the defending Olympic champions when rugby was re-introduced after almost a century at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
In 1934, there was only one official rugby body in the United States, the Eastern Rugby Union, with a total of 9 member teams. By 1950, there were 30 clubs in the US, existing only in small pockets on the East and West Coasts.
It was not until the mid-1960s that rugby began to re-appear with regular fixtures and competitions; the game suited the mildly anarchistic temperament of American College students of the period;{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} it required minimal costs for the individual, the style of the game provided constant action, there was an emphasis on enjoyment rather than winning because rugby was not part of the now rigidly institutionalized athletic system that American Universities had developed. The formation of the United States of America Rugby Football Union (USARFU, now USA Rugby) in 1976 was a major organizational milestone for the sport in the US, and by 1980 there were over 1,000 clubs nationwide.
In 2011, there were 2,433 clubs in the United States with more than 88,000 registered players, approximately 40% of which are college players (about three-quarters being male and one quarter female).{{cite web |url=http://www.irb.com/unions/union=11000012/index.html |title=International Rugby Board - USA |access-date=2012-06-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511135815/http://www.irb.com/unions/union%3D11000012/index.html |archive-date=2012-05-11 }}
=Formation of Division 1-A=
File:Map US Collegiate Rugby Conferences.png
Prior to the formation of Division 1-A, there had been some difficulty in determining how many teams each territory would send to the Sweet 16 tournament, as the relative strengths of the rugby teams in each territory fluctuated over time, and despite the disparity in the levels of rugby, it was politically difficult to deny a union any playoff bids, even though the team that came third or fourth in a more powerful territory might be a better side. Further problems occurred because of the different competitive seasons across the continent; in the East the league season is played in the fall while in the South and West spring is the primary season, so this structure was frequently open to criticism.
Because of these issues, and to raise the level of rugby in the consciousness of the American public, USA Rugby restructured Division 1 college rugby. In 2010, several of the top college teams agreed to form the College Premier League to begin play in spring 2011.[http://www.theroar.com.au/2010/03/17/usa-rugby-college-premier-league-kick-off-in-2011/ USA Rugby forms a College Premier League] The Roar March 17, 2010 USA Rugby and the top colleges believed that an elite level college rugby competition would make it easier to get college rugby onto TV and attract sponsors. D1-A Rugby secured sponsorships in 2012 with World Rugby Shop and Veloce. USA Rugby also believed that a higher level college competition would develop players to potentially play for the U.S. national team.[https://texasrugbyunion.com/2010/08/23/1332/ USA Rugby College D1 Premier Schedules] texasrugbyunion.com August 23, 2010
The governance of collegiate rugby was split and diverged in 2021. National Collegiate Rugby (NCR), formerly NSCRO, emerged as a rival by expanding beyond small colleges to include the higher divisions. The umbrella of the USA Rugby Collegiate Council includes College Rugby Association of America (CRAA), among several other organizations.{{cite web|url= https://www.goffrugbyreport.com/news/who-plays-where-and-how-our-college-rugby-update|title= Who Plays Where and How? Our College Rugby Update|date=14 July 2021| first=Alex|last= Goff|publisher= Goff Rugby Report|access-date=2021-12-14}} In 2021, there were five men's DIA conferences plus independents under USA Rugby/CRAA. Two men's conferences that played DIA in 2019 joined NCR in 2021.

Collegiate Championship results prior to D1-A Formation
The earliest claims to a national title go back to the mid-1960s when Sports Illustrated Magazine started demonstrating an interest in Collegiate rugby. During the 1965-1966 season, the University of Notre Dame won several cups and tournaments and, in the absence of a bona fide national championship, Sports Illustrated named them unofficial Collegiate Rugby Champions.{{Cite web|url=http://rugby.nd.edu/about/history/|title = History|website= Rugby ND|access-date= April 17, 2023}} The next year, under the authority of USARFU, Notre Dame played a match on April 8, 1967 against California at Memorial Stadium for the unofficial national championship, again as a result of both teams being highly rated by Sports Illustrated; Cal won 37-3.{{cite web|url=http://www.calbears.com/sports/m-rugby/spec-rel/051710aaa.html |title=Cal Rugby at Inaugural CCI Sevens Friday-Sunday - the University of California Official Athletic Site |access-date=April 17, 2023 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110917134505/http://www.calbears.com/sports/m-rugby/spec-rel/051710aaa.html |archive-date=2011-09-17 }}
=National Invitational Championship=
=National Collegiate Rugby Championship=
The first official National Collegiate Championship series began in 1980. Rugby in the United States is divided into territorial unions (the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, Pacific Coast, the South, Southern California, and the West). Each of these unions organized collegiate rugby into "Division One" and "Division Two" league competitions, generally with promotion and relegation between the divisions. Between 1980 and 2010 each Territory qualified Division One and Two teams for the Sweet 16 of a D1 and D2 National championship.
California was dominant in Division One for the 31 years that the competition was run in this format, winning 25 titles. Air Force won three titles; Harvard, San Diego State, and Brigham Young University each won one D1 national championship.

Notes:
- 2012: Cal was not included in the D1A rankings because it withdrew from D1A mid-season.
- 2013: Utah was not ranked because its rugby program was suspended by the school. Central Florida, and Bowling Green were new to the rankings; they had been ranked #17 and #19 respectively in D1-AA during the previous 2012 season.
- 2014: Army was ranked low, due in large part to the team's suspension during the season.
- 2023: No final D1A rankings were released so rankings listed above of week 1 from the 2023–24 season
