The U Sports Women's Rugby Championship, is a Canadian university rugby union tournament conducted by U Sports, and determines the women's national champion. The tournament involves the champions from each of Canada's four regional sports conferences. The Monilex Trophy is awarded to the winners.[1]
The first women's rugby union championship was held in November 1998. The tournament features eight teams playing in a single-elimination format, which takes place over four days and features 11 games at a single, predetermined host site.[2] The trophy was donated by Monilex Sports, the official Canadian distributor of Gilbert Rugby balls.[1] The 2020 championship tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
