International Mini Rugby Series

The International Mini & Youth Rugby Series organizes an annual youth rugby festival in Chichester, West Sussex, bringing together teams from across the UK and beyond. Its 17th event is scheduled for 1–2 May 2027 at Chichester College, with age groups from U7 to U13. More than a tournament, the series presents a family-focused weekend of grassroots rugby, competition and team-building. Teams compete in league formats, with multiple matches across both days, and every competitor receives a medal or similar recognition. Champion T-shirts are also provided by sponsor Your Club Stash to celebrate sportsmanship points.

The event offers practical support and activities for visiting teams and families, including information on registration, schedules, rules, travel, parking and nearby accommodation. On-site extras include camping, climbing walls, inflatables, face painting, food and drinks. Organizers also provide guidance on tickets and wristbands required for entry. With a welcoming atmosphere and opportunities for young players to meet new opponents, the series aims to make a rugby weekend memorable for participants, coaches and families alike.
