The Rhode Island Urban Debate League (RIUDL) was an American urban debate league located in Rhode Island. It operates as a community partnership program between Howard R. Swearer Center for Public Service and the Rhode Island high schools with which RIUDL is affiliated. RIUDL ended operations in 2023 due to lack of funding. History The League was founded in 1999 as the Providence Urban Debate League (PUDL), so named as it served high schools solely in the city of Providence. In 2003, PUDL was renamed the Rhode Island Urban Debate League (RIUDL) as a response to the expanding mission of the League and the addition of Woonsocket High School in Woonsocket, Rhode Island in 2002.== *Alvarez High School *Central Falls High School *Central High School *Classical High School *W.
