The USA Club Rugby Super Regional Championships (SRCs) are the final stages of 15s playoffs before the national championships, and their dates and locations are now known. The national semifinals and finals will occur Friday-Sunday, May 16-18, but the location has yet to be announced. For the women’s competitions, national titles will be awarded in Division I and Division II, and only the Atlantic SRC supports women’s Division III.

Three of the four SRCs occur the first weekend in May, but the Pacific bracket occurs a week earlier — April 25-27 — to avoid overlap with the HSBC SVNS World Championship in Los Angeles on May 3-4.
