The Southern Conference is comprised of four geographical unions (True South, Georgia, Florida, and Carolinas) in states extending from Louisiana to North Carolina.

The Southern Conference champion from each division advance to the USA Rugby East Regionals in Pittsburgh on May 21.
“
On behalf of the True South Rugby Union, I congratulate the Montgomery Yellowhammers Rugby Club for securing a first class facility for the Southern Conference finals in April. The YMCA of Greater Montgomery's Soccer Facility features championship fields, stadium seating, locker rooms, concessions and all the amenities necessary for teams and their supporters,” stated Peter L.

The event will feature roughly 300 of the south's top rugby athletes in fierce competition in an effort to reach USA Rugby's National Championship in Glendale, Colorado.
“This event will be an excellent showcase for the sport of Rugby in an area where many do not know it exists.
