The Pacific Rugby Premiership (officially called the Samurai Sportswear Pacific Rugby Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was a club rugby competition in the USA. It served as the Division I league for the Pacific North Conference, but also included one team from the Frontier Conference. It involved six teams from cities across the Western region and represented over 100 years of rugby history and heritage.[1]
The PRP had a short hiatus in 2017, but returned in 2018.[2] The last full season played was 2019, with 4 games played in 2020.
