Kent State Women's Rugby has qualified for the

Collegiate Rugby Championship!

Also known as May Madness 7s, this is the largest college rugby tournament in the nation, including over 100 teams. This year there will be six hours of live coverage on the CBS Sports Network for the men's and women's matches, in addition to coverage on The Rugby Network.

About the Kent Rugby Foundation:

The Kent Rugby Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting the game of rugby throughout Northeast Ohio and its surrounding areas. The Kent Rugby Foundation is its own entity and is not directly affiliated with any other school, business, or organization. Through fundraising events and donations from our supporters, we are not only capable of supporting our home clubs, but also rugby clubs at the youth, high school, and collegiate level. We are rugby players; past and present. We know the struggles each club faces year after year. Our goal is to lessen those struggles and help increase visibility of the sport we love. Furthering our cause is the most important goal of our organization. We seek to support, empower, and provide high-quality resources to our community to help grow the game of rugby. Our success isn’t measured in terms of wealth or profit margin, but by the value we provide to those we serve.
