ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC UNIONS

Effective with the opening of the 2011-2012 Competitive Season, the USA Rugby Board named four Geographic Unions (GU) as part of a pilot program to review a new streamlined union structure to support anticipated growth in the game and to provide increased member services in the local areas.

Geographic Unions (larger than typical Local Area Unions and smaller than current Territorial Unions) are defined based upon a combination of club density in an area and natural geographical boundaries. A GU may be a single state, multiple states, or parts of a large state.
