The USA Men’s National Team, nicknamed the Eagles, won the Gold Medal in Olympic rugby in 1920 and 1924. After that time, rugby in the US stagnated while continuing to grow in the rest of the world and only recently has rugby started to become popular again in the US.
Beginning in the 1960s and continuing through the 1970s the sport of rugby union enjoyed a renaissance in the USA. This created the need for a national governing body to represent the USA. In 1975 four territorial organizations (Pacific Coast, West, Midwest and East) gathered in Chicago, Illinois to form the United States of America Rugby Football Union (now known as USA Rugby).
In 1993 the Southern California RFU, a local area union of the Pacific Coast RFU, applied to become a separate territory. This was an impetus for others around the country to do the same changing the make-up of USA Rugby which now has seven territories (Pacific, Southern California, West, Midwest, South, Northeastern, and Mid-Atlantic) .
USA Rugby lobbied for several years for a stop on the IRB Sevens World Series and finally was awarded it for 2004-6. The Home Depot Center in Carson, California, was the venue for the initial USA Sevens tournament. In the summer of 2006, the tournament was moved to Petco Park in San Diego.

USA Rugby is a Founding Sports Partner of the Sports Museum of America, joining more than 50 other single-sport Halls of Fame, National Governing Bodies, Museums and other organizations across North America to richly celebrate the history, grandeur and significance of sports in American culture. Set to open in New York City on May 7, 2008, the Sports Museum of America will showcase USA Rugby Lacrosse in its Hall of Halls Gallery in return for their support of the creation of the Nation's first all-sports museum experience.
