Try Tag Rugby is the official Great Britain delegate to the International and European Tag Rugby Federations.
Great Britain Tag Rugby compete annually in the British & Irish Cup whilst focusing on development for the World Cup which takes place every three years. The Great Britain management team, head coaches, assistant coaches and support teams work with elite players ensuring we are best placed to perform and win at the very highest level. Squads include Men's, Women's and Mixed categories, requiring vision, dedication and execution from everyone involved.
The Great Britain vision currently resides on the World Cup 2021 in Ireland. Returning from the Tag World Cup in Australia at the end of 2018 with Bronze & Silver Medals has injected a huge enthusiasm to represent at the highest level which has resulted in the introduction of a National Development Squad, ensuring a pool of elite players presents breadth and depth across the board.
