The NOLA Gold rugby team will not participate in the 2026 season.
The team's website announced on Wednesday that the Gold had notified the league it had decided not to compete in the coming year.
The decision comes a few weeks after a disappointing 2025 season, which ended with the team posting a 4-12 record and finishing 5th in the Eastern Conference, missing the playoffs.
In the previous season, the Gold had reached the postseason for the first time ever.
The team thanked local fans for their increasing levels of support, in the form of ticket sales.
