how to validate that email used during registration ends in a specific format?

I'm using this inside my user.rb model

VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX },
                    uniqueness: { case_sensitive: false }

However, I would like to only allow certain email addresses. Email addresses that end in .org for example. How can I validate this correctly?

I only want to allow all email addresses that end in .org that includes @department.xyz.org, basically any variation that is between @ and .org

(previous answer):

exp = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.\.]*xyz\.com\z/i 

"[email protected]" =~ exp
 => nil 
"[email protected]" =~ exp
 => 0 
"[email protected]" =~ exp
 => 0

and to get only the e-mails that finishes with org:

exp = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.org\z/i 
 => /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.org\z/i 
"[email protected]" =~ exp
 => nil 
"[email protected]" =~ exp
 => 0
