Scottish Women's Rugby Union
The Scottish Women's Rugby Union (SWRU) was the national governing body for women's rugby union in Scotland. It was responsible for the governance of women's rugby union within Scotland. Its role was all encompassing. It went from youth recruitment, through administrating all senior based (aged 16+) competition, through to the performance and management of the Scotland women's national rugby union team.
At their AGM in June 2009 the SWRU voted unanimously in favour of amalgamating the Scottish Rugby Union and the SWRU to form an integrated national governing body rugby in Scotland.
The SWRU is led by a volunteer based Executive Board. Board members are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at June each year. The posts are annual in nature with the exception of the Chairperson, whose post is held for 2 years. Board members have to be affiliated with a women's rugby union club.
NB. The Executive Board was renamed from the Executive Committee in the 2007 AGM.
In addition to the volunteer Executive Board, three full-time staff based at the Scottish Rugby Union assists with the planning and delivery of the women's rugby union programme throughout Scotland. From 2001-2005 only 2 posts existed, the Women's Administration Manager and the Girls Development Officer. As of late 2005, in conjunction with the Scottish Rugby Union, the two posts were re-purposed, with another one created as a result. The new staffing structure consisted of a Community Manager, a Performance Development Manager (responsible for the performance pathways programme) and a Women's Development Officer (responsible for Youth and Senior rugby).
As of season 2010 - 2011, there are four divisions within the Scottish league: Premier League 1, Premier League 2, National League and the National Development League.
Premier League consists of 6 clubs (in alphabetical order):
