International Women’s Day Tournament

Join us in Chiswick for our annual celebration of women’s Tag Rugby whilst raising funds for our charity partners Tag Sports CIC!

With nearly 4500 women playing Tag Rugby weekly across the UK last summer, Try Tag Rugby’s International Women’s Day tournament will bring together a thriving national community to celebrate participation, connection and opportunity through sport. Expect great sport, new connections and a safe space to play, learn and express yourself.

In 2025 this event broke the record for the largest stand alone women’s Tag Rugby tournament in the UK and in 2026 we’re planning an even bigger & better event! See what happened last year.

Attending this event for Tag Sports CIC will help them continue their work to increase the number of underrepresented groups having access to sport and physical activity throughout the UK.
