The Territorial Championship is the premier Girls Rugby 15s event in the US bringing together regional representative teams from across the United States. The brainchild of Garrett Fisher and the Mid-West Thunderbirds program circa 2018, the event has blossomed into a major scouting and recruiting event since its inception. The event is held each February (typically President's Day weekend) in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area of Florida.
The 2026 Event is scheduled for Boca Ciega HS near St. Petersburg, FL.ย
