BKT URC Origin Round
This Saturday, we’ll be hosting our BKT URC Origin Round fixture. The Origin Round brings together all URC teams and supporters to celebrate the clubs and volunteers who have played, and continue to play, a vital role in introducing our players, staff, and fans to the game of rugby across the province.
To honor the rugby clubs of Ulster, we’re inviting supporters to wear their club colours to this Saturday's match. So, get your shirts, hats, scarves, and jackets ready, and show your appreciation for the clubs that have nurtured your passion for rugby.

The Ulster Rugby Fan Zone at Kingspan Stadium opens at 3.45pm this Saturday.
Upon arrival, be sure to look for our Welcome Team, who will be handing out free Ulster Rugby flags to help get you into the matchday spirit. Arrive early, as these flags may run out. Afterward, head over to the Fan Zone, where you can enjoy a variety of cuisines while the Cool FM crew sets the vibe with their pre-match playlist.
