The 2013 USA Sevens Collegiate Rugby Championship was a rugby sevens tournament. The tournament was held on May 31 - June 2 at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. It was the fourth annual Collegiate Rugby Championship and the third consecutive year that the tournament was held at PPL Park. For 2013, USA Sevens LLC expanded the tournament from 16 to 20 teams in order to include additional local Philadelphia-area teams, inviting Temple, Kutztown, Penn, and Saint Joseph's.[1] Another local team, Villanova, was later chosen as a replacement for Army.[2] Villanova was outscored 184-0 over four games.

In the CRC's first three years, 16 teams were evenly divided into Championship and Challenger tournaments after the pool stage. This year was the first one in which the CRC utilized Cup, Plate, Bowl, and Shield tournaments. The teams that qualified for the Cup were the five pool winners and the top three second-place teams. All 20 teams participated in the knockout stage.

California defeated Life 19-14 in the Cup finals for their first CRC championship.
