You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''USA Women's National Team XVs'''  represents the [[United States]] in women's international [[rugby union]]. The team was officially formed in 1987 and is nicknamed the Eagles.

An international powerhouse during the 1990s— the Eagles won the inaugural [[1991 Women's Rugby World Cup|1991 Women's World Cup]] and finished second in the two following World Cups in [[1994 Women's Rugby World Cup|1994]] and [[1998 Women's Rugby World Cup|1998]]. The team finished fourth at the [[2017 Women's Rugby World Cup|2017 Rugby World Cup]] in Ireland.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2020-11-14 |title=RWC 2021 Spotlight: USA |url=https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2021/news/601059 |access-date=2022-05-09 |website=www.rugbyworldcup.com |language=en}}</ref>

In May 2018, Rob Cain was appointed full-time Head Coach. Cain joined the Eagles after winning the inaugural Tyrell [[Premier 15s]] title in England with [[Saracens Women]].

==History==

''(Source: [http://www.uswrf.org/History.aspx US Women's Rugby Foundation])''

The history of women's rugby in the United States can be traced back to three teams that existed in 1972 – the [[Colorado State University]] Hookers at [[Fort Collins, Colorado|Fort Collins]]; the [[University of Colorado Boulder|University of Colorado]], at [[Boulder, Colorado|Boulder]]; and the [[University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign|University of Illinois]], at [[Champaign, Illinois|Champaign]]. During the mid-1970s women's teams began to spring up on college campuses across the United States. As those players graduated they went on to set up teams near cities and urban centers. At that time there was only one division for all women's rugby. In 1975, United States Rugby Football Union was formed and contained four territories. At this time the women had their own Board of Directors and followed in parallel USARFU with four territories (East, Midwest, West and Pacific). In 1978, the first Women's National Championships was held. The Chicago Women's Rugby Club in Chicago, Illinois hosted this event. The winner of that championship was Portland, Maine.{{citation needed|reason=this could all be true, but we need sources for it to stay in Wikipedia|date=March 2019}}

===1980s–1997===

In 1985, the first semblance of a national team was formed. An ‘invitation-only’ team was put together and made up of, arguably, the top women playing the game at the time. [http://womensrugbyhistory.blogspot.com/1985/11/times-nov-23-1985-pg.html The team was named WIVERN and toured throughout England and France]. The team finished the tour undefeated. Many of these players went on to be selected for the 1991 World Cup Team.

In 1987 the USA women's national team was officially born with their first match against the Canadian women's national team. Although the women were not permitted to wear the Eagle logo, this match was sanctioned by Rugby Canada and USA Rugby. USA and Canada began holding an annual match, which became known as the CanAm series. For ten years the Women Eagles went undefeated in this test series.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

In 1990, the women's national team, competing under the name “USA Presidents 15,” traveled to New Zealand to compete in the historic [[RugbyFest 1990|Women's World Rugby Festival]]. The WNT posted a record of 3–1 with their only loss coming at the hands of New Zealand. In 1991 the first Women's Rugby World Cup was held in Cardiff, Wales. Coached by Beantown's [[Kevin O'Brien (rugby union coach)|Kevin O’Brien]], a Welshman himself, and Minnesota's Chris Leach, a South African the stage was set for the US women to bring home the Cup. Defeating New Zealand in semi-final play, the USA women advanced to the finals where they defeated England. Also in 1991 the first woman was elected to serve on the USARFU Board of Directors. Jamie Jordan was elected Treasurer for the Board.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}

In 1997, The U23 women's national team was formed. USA Women's National Team Head Coach Franck Boivert appointed Penn State Coach [[Peter Steinberg]] to be Head Coach for the U23 Women's National Team program. At an event in the CanAm Series the US Women's National Team celebrated their 10-year anniversary by cheering on the Women's U23 National Team in their first test against Canada.

===Present===
The USA Women's National Team XVs finished fourth at Rugby World Cup 2017 in Ireland which earned them automatic qualification to the next World Cup in New Zealand in 2021. In early 2018, the program hired former Women's National Team player [[Emilie Bydwell]] to serve as its General Manager of Women's High Performance.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-11-15 |title=USA Rugby appoints Emilie Bydwell as General Manager of Women's High Performance |url=https://www.usa.rugby/2017/11/usa-rugby-appoints-emilie-bydwell-as-general-manager-of-womens-high-performance/ |access-date=2022-05-10 |website=USA Rugby}}</ref> Soon after in May, Rob Cain was appointed full-time Head Coach and has since helped lead the program in a new direction.

The Women's National Team Program fields a number of age-grade and development programs including the High School All-Americans (U18), Under-20s, Collegiate All-Americans and USA Selects. All age-grade and development programs are umbrellaed under the national team program and serve as a feeder to the senior Women's Eagles.
