Welcome!
On behalf of Metropolitan New York Rugby Union’s Host Committee, I am happy to welcome the Northeast Rugby Union and its NRU Championships to New York. This website will be the central resource for information before, during and after the tournament.
The competition will be held on new high-quality artificial turf fields on Randall’s Island. We worked with New York City government to ensure these and other fields fit regulation rugby dimensions, markings and goal posts. There will be bleachers, tents, port-a-johns, food service, a videotaping service and medical professionals on call at the tournament site
We plan to update this website with results from the tournament, to use Facebook and Twitter to keep participants who subscribe up to date on the results and on social events. We will be issuing all the usual publicity to media outlets in the area.
Many volunteers have contributed countless hours towards this weekend’s success and we thank them for their continuing efforts.
We hope you enjoy your visit to New York and look forward to hosting many more events in the future.
