KRAKOW RUGBY FESTIVAL- the spirit of rugby !

Why Krakow / Poland?

The Krakow Rugby Festival is the first tournament of its kind in Poland, and is organised jointly by Grupa FunTime and Juvenia Rugby Club.

Krakow has been growing as a social rugby tours destination over the past few years, and it certainly deserves its reputation as a great place to combine playing rugby and socialising. Only during its second edition the Krakow Rugby Festival attracted teams from min.: England, France, Germany, Holland, Scotland, Wales, USA and even Venuezuela


Who is welcome?

Senior and veteran rugby male and female teams are welcome, as well as individual players (yes- you can come on your own, or with a couple of lads and join the pool of free players).

Match Length – 7 minutes each half men / 10 minutes each half women
No. Of Players – 10 a side male, 7 a side female
Group Stage – each team plays each other once with the games taking place on the first day and the morning of the second day.
Second Round – At the completion of the group stage, teams will take part in a further two playoff matches to determine their final placing.

When?

Clear your calendar - It's going down!
The KRF festival kicks off June 2023. You're invited to take part in the festivities, as well as to come earlier or leave later- just let us know and we can arrange extra nights, and extra activities for you.

Juvenia Krakow is the host while Grupa FunTime will take care of accommodation, transfers, food, drink and entertainment. Come one, come all, bring a guest, and hang loose. This is going to be epic!

MAKE NEW FRIENDS

Rugby festivals are not only about the game itself. As much as we love drinking games, contests & live music concerts, a rugby festival should be something more. It’s a bond you create with other people from different teams. A bond which is about positive emotions, the feeling of unity, when you suddenly realise that boarders don’t matter, as regardless of country of origin we are all one big rugby family.
