The 1975 National Rugby Championships were limited to Local Union championships since the United States of America Rugby Football Union had only been established on June 7 of that year in Chicago.[1] The Territorial selection tournament would not start until 1977 therefore most of the higher level play was by the sub-unions. There was no college tournament during the reorganization of the RFU[2] and the Monterey National played its 17th edition.
The Eastern Rockies v Texas match was the final of the Western RFU Championship Tournament, the idea of which was brought up during the June 1975 meeting in Chicago that established the United States RFU.[3] Third place went to Rio Grande RFU, Missouri RFU was fourth, Heart of America RFU fifth and Beehive Intermountain RFU sixth.
