Hanratty era begins as Eagles coach starts with domestic camp

Jack Hanratty’s tenure as USA Women’s Eagles coach has started with 36 of the best domestic players assembling for a five-day talent ID camp.

The camp marks the start of the next Women’s Rugby World Cup cycle and sets the foundations for the run in to the 2033 Women’s Rugby World Cup on home soil.

With a large portion of the USA Women’s Eagles player pool plying their trade overseas, this camp will focus on domestic talent and unearthing the next generation of players.

Athletes were invited off the back of Junior National Team & Pathway Camp assessment, Talent ID days and competition performance.

Hanratty and his staff will be establishing their standards for this new Women’s Rugby World Cup cycle and the expectation of players entering the training pool going forwards.

Jack Hanratty, USA Women’s Eagles head coach, said: “We are delighted to be starting our RWC 2029 journey in Chula Vista with our domestic athletes. This will be an opportunity to see first hand the great work done across the country in clubs, communities, Colleges and WER.

“The camp will be focused on identifying a crop of athletes for the start of our 2026 depth chart while establishing some core skill work-ons in areas of the game we want to focus on this cycle.

“We know how much talent there is available across the US and the Eagles staff look forward to being active and visible as we build to not only 2029 but to our home World Cup in 2033.”

This domestic camp will conclude with a Stars v Stripes contest between camp invitees.

In the comping weeks Hanratty will travel to Europe for an alignment camp. Players will be able to familiarise themselves with their new head coach and coaching staff ahead of the Pacific Four Series in April.
