Women’s NCAA Varsity Rugby

2026 NIRA Fall XVs Standings

Current-season standings foundation for NCAA women’s varsity rugby.

2026 Season · Live Standings

Standings update automatically from validated NIRA results.

RFC Tracker: Rugby Fan Central independently calculates these 2026 standings from validated published match results using NIRA’s match-points system. They are unofficial until NIRA publishes or confirms its own current-season table.

RFC does not carry 2025 power ratings into the new season. Validated standings-eligible results update P, W, D, L, PF, PA, PD, bonus points and table points automatically.

Important: not every match between NIRA programs is a divisional standings match. Cross-division and non-conference fixtures must not affect these tables, and RFC does not guess try-bonus points when reliable scoring detail is unavailable.

Final NIRA Power Rankings & Standings

The tables below preserve NIRA’s final 2025 power-ranking methodology and are not used to seed or calculate the zeroed 2026 standings above.

Power Rating = (Team Rating + Weighted Win Percentage) / 2. Team Rating combines Attack Rating and Defense Rating; Weighted Win Percentage adjusts results based on opponent strength.
