The Canadian Rugby Championship (CRC) is a national rugby union competition in Canada, established to promote and develop the sport across the country. It features teams representing different provinces, allowing players to showcase their skills at a higher level of competition. The tournament typically takes place during the summer months and includes both men's and women's divisions. The CRC aims to enhance the performance of Canadian rugby players and teams by providing a structured environment for competition. It serves as a pathway for athletes to potentially join the national teams, such as the Canada national rugby union team, and compete internationally.
