2025 calendar
England Touch has published the 2025 domestic calendar, including the Nationals, National Touch Series, BUCS University Touch Championships, Try Sports National Schools Competition, In2Touch Junior Touch Cup, and other invitational events.
England is not hosting an international event in 2025. An Atlantic Youth Cup has been confirmed nearby, however, with the University of Limerick welcoming youth teams from Europe and beyond between July 31st and August 3rd.
We do expect there to be two adult international events, a European Opens Cup and European Seniors Cup, the dates and venues for which are to be confirmed.
The Nationals returns to Highfields Sports Complex on the first May bank holiday.
This will be followed by the National Touch Series, which this year will be predominantly based at Old Leamingtonians RFC in Royal Leamington Spa, a venue which received plenty of positive feedback from those who played there in the Mens NTS and Womens NTS in 2024. Other venues will be confirmed in due course.
2025 also sees a wide range of youth competitions, including regional and national Try Sports School Tournaments, and an In2Touch Junior Touch Cup, which will also be played at Old Leamingtonians.
All relevant links are in the table below.
