United States national under-20 rugby union team

The United States national under-20 rugby union team is the junior rugby union side that represents the United States at national level for players under twenty. The programme began as an under-19 team and became an under-20 side when the International Rugby Board merged its under-19 and under-21 world championships into the Junior World Championship from the 2008 season. Its first match as an under-20 team was played against South Africa on 6 June 2008. The United States has competed in the Junior World Championship and in several World Rugby Under 20 Trophy tournaments, winning the 2012 Junior World Rugby Trophy under head coach Scott Lawrence. Players from the team, among them Madison Hughes, Todd Clever and Zack Test, have gone on to represent the senior fifteens or sevens teams.
