With summer leagues running from May to August, teams register early every year to avoid missing out on a place in venues which can fill up by the end of the month. The growth of IRFU Tag has been phenomenal and this year’s programme expects to see over 1,000 teams and 12,000 participants at quality venues all based in rugby clubs across Ireland.
In addition, this year will see IRFU Tag Beach festivals adding to the success of previous events during the 2010 summer. Popular venues such as Portstewart, Dingle, Enniscrone and Curracloe will be returning for more in 2011.
The IRFU Tag leagues cater for all levels of skill and fitness in mixed social teams, and also at selected locations, Spring Leagues, Mens and Vets Tag (Men Over 33). The growth of Tag has been greatly successful in spreading the popularity of the game of rugby and its non-contact nature and social aspect have made it accessible to both men and women in the specially graded levels.
