The University of San Diego Rugby Football Club was founded in 1980. USD plays college rugby in Division 1-AA in the Gold Coast Conference. They are coached by Charlie Purdon. In the 2021–22 season, USD finished 4-0 in conference play and qualified for the D1-AA national playoffs in both 15s and 7s, where they lost to Fresno State 46-7 (who later won the 15s National Championship) and defeated Sacramento State 53-17. The Toreros then regrouped and poised themselves to take a shot at the National Title in 7s later that year in Atlanta, Georgia. The Toreros went 6-0 in the tournament, defeating Kennesaw State, Iowa State, Harvard, Stanford, Nebraska, and finally Harvard once again to claim the First National Championship in the club's 42-year history:
