The Rugby Canada National Junior Championship is a new amateur rugby union competition in Canada. The league was created when Rugby Canada decided to disband the Rugby Canada Super League (RCSL) and replace it with a new under-20 league. The league consists of 13 teams, and are broken up into 4 divisions; Pacific, Prairie, Central, and Atlantic. It is expected that 3 more teams will join the league in 2010.

The league is intended to train, test, and get young rugby players ready so that someday they will be able to compete for the Canadian national rugby union team.
