Considered one of the largest and best-run rugby events in the world, the Can-Am Tournament was created in 1973 by the Mountaineers Rugby Club and is proud to be celebrating its 52nd year. The inaugural event was an eight-team affair that quickly doubled and has since mushroomed into a mid-summer tradition with 110+ teams converging on the Adirondacks.

The Can-Am Rugby Tournament is committed to giving back to the community that supports it. Each year, the tournament awards scholarships to local high schools and colleges, including Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, and Lake Placid High Schools, North Country Community College, and Paul Smith’s College. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need, community service, character, and involvement in athletics.

Additionally, the tournament financially supports local youth sports teams, including Pee Wee Hockey, high school football, little league, youth basketball, and baseball, high school rugby, and the Saranac Lake Summer Youth program.
