The Girls XV Nationals Committee has published its first high school ranking. The list includes high school clubs and single-school teams that are playing 15s, and features rugby programs both building to nationals (May 15-16, 2026, Salt Lake City) as well as those that stick to their state and regional competitions. The top-25 rankings (plus honorable mentions) will update every 3-4 weeks based on the match forms submitted by the teams themselves.

RELATED: How Are HS Teams Ranked? 

The Girls XV Nationals Committee comprises current and former girls’ high school rugby coaches and administrators from across the country, and they band together to host the annual high school and high school club 15s national tournaments. These volunteers are uniquely positioned to drive the high school rankings, since they are already tracking nationwide activity and connected to the community. With that said, the committee is relying solely on the participation of teams themselves; i.e., teams must submit match forms in order to be included in the rankings. The committee will not chase down individual teams for results. So the rankings are only as accurate and inclusive as the rugby community makes them.

That caveat is important to note especially for the inaugural ranking. A general call for the rugby community to participate was placed in early March, and as visibility builds, more and different teams will feature in the rankings. Is there a team missing? Send them the match form and note that they are due the Tuesday immediately after a match is played. Tournaments, friendlies, non-15s matches — they all hold weight, and forms provide space to lend as much context to teams, game conditions, roster nuances, etc., to get as accurate a read as possible.
