There are leagues to suit all different levels of competition. Men's and women's teams compete week in, week out in their tiered league structure across the whole UK.
Rugby union also has a national league for both men's and women's competitions, with the top men’s and women’s league known as BUCS Super Rugby.
BUCS Super Rugby sees the best 10 university men's rugby teams and the best 7 women’s rugby teams compete in their own league. At the end of the league season, they compete in the BUCS Super Rugby Milk Championship.
