super rugby

Major League Rugby (MLR), a North American professional rugby league, is sanctioned by USA Rugby. It is sanctioned and part of World Rugby. MLR will host 12 teams in 2023 as opposed to seven in 2018. The teams will play in Dallas and Los Angeles, with the possibility of another in Canada.

Major League Rugby will be split into two conferences. Each conference will host the top three teams from their respective divisions, and conference winners will be matched in finals. Each team will play once in the regular season. A team will be qualified for the playoffs if it wins both conference finals.

The United States rugby community initiated the creation of the league. Several cities had bids on becoming the league's first franchises, including Vancouver and Los Angeles. However, the bids have not been accepted. However, there is speculation that the league could have three West Coast clubs in 2021. It could expand to six teams in 2023.

World Rugby announced in May that 2031 will see the hosting of the men's World Cup in the United States. The 2032 Women's World Cup is planned. This would mean that the US men's Eagles have one last chance to qualify for the 2023 World Cup in France.


MLR was involved in the sale and growth of the Los Angeles and Austin franchises. There is also an opportunity to form another franchise in the Midwestern United States. MLR indicates that there are potential locations for teams in several areas of the midwest.

Chicago, a possible Midwestern US city, has been considered. The city's former owner had a PRO rugby franchise. He is currently working on a bid for an MLR franchise. He has 90 days to complete the terms and conditions of his application, and he must meet league expansion benchmarks. Major League Rugby accepted his initial application regardless of whether he meets the criteria.

As of 2019, the franchise buy in price is $4,000,000. This will cover the league's expenses in the first two years. The teams will have the right to draft players from the folded teams during this period. Around 30% of these rosters will include players who can be imported.

2020 will be the date for the collegiate draft. Players will be eligible to participate after they have completed three years of college. For the first two years of the new league, there will be a single table format. The league will likely change to a more varied schedule eventually, with two or 3 games against opponents from within the conference and a home/away against the other.

Major League Rugby will establish a new franchise for Chicago starting in 2023. It will be the first league club to open in the Midwestern United States. There are also potential locations for future franchises in the Bay Area, Las Vegas and Vancouver.
