Participants, whose ages will vary from 35 to 80+, can ‘compete’ at the level they wish to play. 2004 was the kick-off of Vintage Rugby in Limerick, Ireland and following successful carnivals in Buenos Aires, Christchurch and Cape Town the World Vintage Rugby Carnival is far from over. Vintage Rugby is a fresh, friendly style of veteran rugby, dedicated to preserving the spirit and tradition of Ru

gby for mature players, supporters and referees.Vintage Rugby is all about honouring the game and honouring each other. Vintage Rugby provides the chance for teams, players and referees to enjoy games in the Vintage Rugby style against teams from all over the world. It is an opportunity for passionate former players of all shapes and fitness levels, to relive past glories on and off the pitch. It provides the chance for those over the age of 35 (two men’s sections Over 35 and Over 46) who still hanker to scrum, ruck and maul with their mates against rivals from around the world. World Vintage Rugby Carnivals are friendly, exciting and full of fun events held every two years at venues selected by Vintage Rugby players and their partners. Carnival programmes are planned to provide players and their partners with an enjoyable Rugby experience through an innovative, cost-effective and relaxed social programme.
