Philadelphia is proud to welcome back the Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship (CRC), the largest Rugby Sevens collegiate rugby championship in the world. This will be CRC’s fifth year at Philadelphia’s PPL Park, which has established itself as the east coast hub of the sport for the United States.
Twenty teams from across the country will compete in thrilling 15-minute games to determine this year’s champion. With the return of Rugby to the 2016 Olympic Games, the Championship is part of a nationwide effort to build American rugby talent in preparation for the Olympics.
The event will be broadcast live for seven hours over the weekend on NBC and NBC Sports Network. For more information, visit USA Sevens.
More than 160 of the world’s top professional cyclists will descend on Philadelphia June 7 to race in the highest-rated, one-day professional cycling event in the United States.

They captured our hearts and now they’re capturing some more hardware. Philadelphia’s favorite Little League team, the Taney Dragons, is the 2015 recipient of the John Wanamaker Athletic Award. The Dragons became the first Philadelphia team to win the state Little League Championship before taking the Mid-Atlantic Regional title and earning a trip to the Little League World Series in Williamsport last summer. They represented the city with tremendous spirit and class and earned a hero’s welcome and parade when they returned home.
In addition, the 2015 Robert P. Levy Community Service Award is being presented to Special Olympics Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Sports Volunteer of the Year is Don Richardson of the Philadelphia Blackhawks Pop Warner football team.
The Wanamaker Award Ceremony will be June 12 presented by Amerimar/TIER REIT and the Philadelphia Sports Congress.
