A weekend built around the national team

The 2027 weekend is timed to the USA's final home match before the Rugby World Cup. Pairing the Hall of Fame induction with a send-off match puts the recognition of the game's builders alongside the players preparing to represent the United States on the sport's biggest stage. Supporters will have the chance to honor the incoming Hall of Fame class one night and cheer on the national team the next.

The US Rugby Hall of Fame recognizes the players, coaches, administrators, and contributors who have shaped the growth of rugby in the United States. Each class adds new names to a group that represents decades of achievement across youth, high school, collegiate, club, and national levels of the game. The induction ceremony gathers current Hall of Famers, inductee families, and supporters to mark the occasion together.
