Rugby at the WPFG is one of the most popular events and we are confident that the 7s matches will be truly international. Rugby Touch will be a mixed team 18+ and the Rugby 7s will be offered in the following categories: Men's 18+ Division 1 & 2, Men's 35+, Men's 45+ and Women's 18+. Both forms of the game will be played at Queen's Sport, Upper Malone in Belfast. Entry is free of charge.

The 2013 Games will have more competitors than any previous Commonwealth Games. In 2013 there will be 56 sports held at 41 venues across Northern Ireland from 1st-10th August. More than 7,000 competitors from over 60 countries are expected to take part.
Approximately 3,600 volunteers will help deliver the ‘friendliest Games ever’ and will create a diverse pool of skilled volunteers for future events in Northern Ireland. The Games will also leave a lasting legacy as a result of extensive Services engagement in the community, with schools and with young people, and through our three official charities. WPFG will provide a major economic boost for Northern Ireland, generating much needed revenue for the service sector including hotels, restaurants, shops and visitor attractions.
