Registration for tag rugby leagues is now live across the four provinces. There are 11 venues to choose from with tag rugby running from now right through until August. More venues are also set to be announced. Tag Rugby is a fun way to get active, support your local rugby club and meet new people over the summer months. It’s also an invaluable tool in recruitment and retention in rugby. Since the Introduction of IRFU Tag in 2007, it has helped to get a rugby ball into hundreds of thousands of people’s hands for the first time. More information on this year’s programme is available through provincial websites:

IRFU Participation Rugby Operations Manager David Keane told IrishRugby.ie: “We’re already seeing the benefits of provinces taking over operational responsibility for tag rugby. The registration portals are live and we’re starting to see tag rugby in clubs that haven’t previously been involved.” “That’s massively important, given how much of the revenue goes back to each participating club while giving them the chance to broaden their community base.” If your club has a query about tag rugby, email here.
