The British Columbia Rugby Union (BCRU) is the provincial administrative body for rugby union in British Columbia. The BCRU consists of nine sub-unions and 65 clubs. It was originally organized in New Westminster around 1889 and the current headquarters is on the west side of Vancouver.
British Columbia is considered a hotspot for rugby in Canada, as its mild weather allows the sport to be played year round.
The BCRU is responsible for organising the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League, the provincial men's club championship. It also oversees provincial representative teams which compete for national championships organised by Rugby Canada
