The first of the three major London tournaments of the year, Try Tag Rugby’s annual Spring Tournament returns in April 2023 with a full day of Tag Rugby followed by an unmissable official after-party on the site of TagFest 2022!

This annual event running since 2014 has sold-out well in advance the last three times it has taken place and with an expanded capacity of 96 teams across four divisions from beginner to elite is one to sign up to sooner rather than later.

No Saturday leagues will run on the day to ensure that our community can take maximum advantage of the main event for teams looking to prove that they are the best of the best at their level.
