The Dream
PARTNERS
AquaRugby wouldn't be running today if it wasn't for the help and support from all our sponsors and partners. We are proud to have such great influence from a wide variety of brands and businesses that believed in the dream. We call these believers, family.
The next Aqua Rugby Festival is being held over Thursday 10th, Friday 11th and Saturday 12th November 2022.
The 30 x 30 metre pontoon pitch hosting all of rugby’s crashes & splashes, will be floating in Manly Cove (in between Manly Wharf & the Manly Pavilion) in Sydney NSW.
There will also be a vibrant festival precinct along the shoreline – filled with great food, music, big screens, sponsor activations and much more – which is all free for the public to enjoy!
To learn the exciting rules of Aqua Rugby, head to the Match panel of the website, where the full list of rules are displayed.
Our rules have been drawn up by our rugby experts Bernard Foley & Sean Maloney, to showcase all the best parts of fast-paced, running rugby – on the water!
You can check out the full list of invited teams involved on our Teams page of the website. We’re incredibly proud to invite teams to the Aqua Rugby Festival from a diverse range of backgrounds & cultures.
What’s the tournament structure? There will be a separate knockout Men’s & Women’s competitions on all days of the tournament + some awesome exhibition matches from an exciting range of teams represented from Australia & abroad.
Invited players are a mix of former & current rugby greats + up & coming rugby talent breaking into the scene.
Players are selected by world-class famous coaches & managers.
Keep your eye on our social media accounts for player announcements & coaching appointments as we lead into the tournament!
