Corporate Challenge London 2023

Try Tag Rugby welcomes organisations across a diverse range of industries, from blue chip multinationals to niche industry experts to participate in the Corporate Challenge London.

The Corporate Challenge is our only tournament specifically for work teams and the perfect opportunity to get your workmates together for a unique team building and networking experience whilst enjoying the sport you love.

This is a charity event with the winners of each division invited to nominate the charity of their company’s choice. The overall amount donated to charity will be split equally between each divisional winner and will be donated directly by Try Tag Rugby. The record amount donated to chosen charities was £4000 in 2019 when 32 teams took part.

The Corporate Challenge is an opportunity for new and existing corporate teams alike to compete for Cup, Plate, Bowl and Shield titles, which allows your team to play at the correct level. Previous tournaments have attracted companies including Team Sky, Capgemini, Sport England, Accenture, JLL, Shell, Chaucer Group, Clintons and many more.
