USA Rugby's Regional Cup Tournaments (RCTs) have been announced for 2018. The RCTs are an annual competition for the youth of America to show case their skills, and gain exposure to collegiate rugby, collegiate recruitment, and to the selectors of the High School All American Teams.

The tournament dates and locations for 2018 are as follows:

West Regional Cup Tournament June 9-10, 2018 Denver, CO

The only new location that has been added from last year is Boise, ID which replaces Corvalis, OR.

The locations are not the only things that have changed, the eligibility requirements have also received a facelift. The changes that have been made include:
Tier 1: Must be at least 16 years old by the event date, must not have turned 19 by September1, 2017, must be enrolled in HS during the 2017/18 school year.
