Rugby India's 2026 schedule lists separate national fifteens and sevens events for men and women and names junior and sub-junior sevens. Federation pages point to a state-association model. This page does not merge state representative sides with clubs or show a complete national pyramid.
Permanent leagues, seasonal phases and parallel competitions stay separate so a cup or playoff is not mistaken for a league tier.
Senior men's national events
Rugby India's 2026 schedule names a men's National Rugby 15s Championship, Division 1, and a separate senior men's National Rugby 7s event.
Dated event records
The schedule gives event names and formats only. It does not show a lasting competition, teams, phases, results, lower divisions or promotion rules.
Senior women's national events
The same schedule also names a women's National Rugby 15s Championship, Division 1, and a senior women's National Rugby 7s event.
Separate competition displays
The men's and women's events stay separate. The published material does not show that they share one permanent competition, team system or season structure.
Junior and sub-junior rugby
Rugby India's 2026 schedule names junior and sub-junior National Rugby 7s events. These are age-grade events, not lower senior tiers.
Age-grade boundary
No youth team, school, academy or pathway is shown here from the event names.
Sevens remains a separate format
Senior, junior and sub-junior sevens events stay separate from the national fifteens events. This page does not combine their teams or results.
No cross-format identity inference
A state representative side, club or institution that plays in one format is not automatically the same team in another.
State associations and representative rugby
Rugby India links state associations. State representative sides, clubs, schools and university teams are different things.
No complete branch registry
Federation website links are not treated as a complete map of who governs what, and no state association or representative side is listed here from a link name.
Where each competition sits
National Rugby 15s Championship — Division 1 (Men, 2026)
A dated senior men's fifteens event from Rugby India's 2026 schedule. It is not shown here as an ongoing competition or a completed season.
The published material does not give a club-to-team map. State representative sides, clubs, schools, universities and accredited organisations stay separate.
