About

The Iowa High School Rugby Association (IHSRA) is the sanctioning body for all youth rugby in the State of Iowa. The IHSRA became the sanctioning body for youth rugby in October 2010 when it was awarded Emerging State Based Rugby Organization status by USA Rugby. The IHSRA employs many of the structures and strategies developed for the Central Iowa Rugby Metro League (CIRML), started in 2010 as the first rugby Sevens league in the Nation, to accelerate the growth of rugby in Iowa over a wide range of leagues and teams for the 2011 season.

The IHSRA is committed to supporting boys and girls rugby, from non-contact recreational leagues to full contact All-State teams. To do this, the IHSRA is composed of a Board of Directors that is focused on economic sustainability and a Coaches Association that is focused on league quality.
