Club Sevens
At the club level the National Seven–a–side championship was played as part of the 11th Annual Michelob Continental Rugby Classic at Hi Corbett Field in Tucson, Arizona on November 2nd.[18] There were eight teams featured which included two representatives from each of the four territorial unions. The Old Mission Beach Athletic Club defeated the Northern Virginia Duck Brothers 26–12 to win the championship.[19] Bethlehem finished third by defeating Quad City 10–6 in OT.

ITT

[edit]

The Inter Territorial Tournament involved the four regional rugby unions comprising the United States RFU: Pacific Coast RFU, Western RFU, Midwest RFU, and the Eastern Rugby Union. The region teams are formed with players selected from the sub regional rugby unions. Subsequently, the USA Eagles are selected from the four regional teams after the ITT concludes. In 1985 the tournament took place at Miller Park in Sacramento, CA from May 25–27.[20] The Pacific Coast RFU won the Junior Tournament for players under the age of 25.
