Major League Rugby (MLR), a North American professional rugby league, is sanctioned by USA Rugby. It is sanctioned USA Rugby and is part World Rugby. MLR will host 12 teams in 2023 as opposed to seven in 2018. The teams will play in Dallas and Los Angeles, with the possibility of another in Canada.
Major League Rugby's conference structure will allow for two conferences. Each conference will have the top three division winners, with the conference finals featuring the conference champions. Each conference will have one team. A team that wins both the conference finals will be eligible for the playoffs.
The league was founded as an initiative of the rugby community in the United States. Los Angeles and Vancouver had both bid to be the first franchises of the league. However, bids for the league's first franchises have yet not been received. There is still speculation that there will be three West Coast teams for the league in 2021. This could potentially expand to six in 2023.
In May, World Rugby announced that the men's World Cup will be hosted in the US in 2031. The 2032 women's World Cup will be held. This would give the US men’s Eagles one last chance at qualifying for the 2023 World Cup in France.
MLR assisted in the sale of Los Angeles and Austin franchises. We hope to continue the growth and development of the sport at those locations. Another franchise opportunity exists in the Midwestern United States. Currently, there are no teams in the midwest, but MLR has indicated that there are several potential locations.
Chicago is one possible Midwestern city that could be in the running. The city's previous owner was PRO Rugby. He is currently in the process of submitting a bid for an MLR license. He has 90 days to submit his terms and conditions and must meet league expansion benchmarks. Major League Rugby has accepted his first application.
The franchise buyin price as of 2019 is $4,000,000. This will cover the costs of the league for the first two seasons. The league will allow teams to draft players of the folded teams during this time. Around thirty percent will be imported.
The collegiate draft is set to take place in 2020. Players will be eligible to participate after they have completed three years of college. The new league will have a single table format for the first two years. In the future, the league may move to a more challenging schedule that includes two or three games against other conferences and a home-and-away match against the other conference.
Major League Rugby will open a new franchise in Chicago in 2023. It will be the league’s inaugural club in the Midwestern United States and will provide competition for the region. Another possible location for a franchise is Sacramento, the Bay Area and Las Vegas.

"Riding down hills" - Before you can ride downhill, it is important to learn how to prevent yourself from falling. Push your legs into the ground by pulling your rear leg forward, and pushing down with your legs. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you've reached the desired speed, you let your legs come together and relax. You can slow down by simply repeating the process.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are many ways you can measure speed. Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next. To practice speed control, you can either time yourself or count laps. Practice makes perfect!
