Fall 2025 schedules have begun to post for teams competing in the upcoming National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) season. Action across three divisions begins in late August, and this post will update as more programs circulate their schedules. NIRA semifinals will be Nov. 15 and the finals will be Nov. 22.

TRB will be based on the east coast this fall for the first time since 2013 and is excited to see some NCAA varsity rugby in person.
