Golden Oldies Rugby is your opportunity to show all those skills you acquired in younger days while still enjoying your favourite sport.
This is not uncompromising competition but rather the means of cementing friendships and enjoying the company of some of life's most unforgettable characters on and off the field.
Rugby has created an exceptional global fraternity and this is happily inherent in the Golden Oldies movement. It is 'grassroots footy' and traditional rugby friendship for those 35 years and over.
World Festivals are held every two years in some of the best tourism, sporting and lifestyle destinations. They provide the opportunity to visit places that many may only have seen on television before. South Africa, England, France, Ireland, Australia, USA and New Zealand have all experienced the 'Fun, Friendship and Fraternity' a Rugby Festival brings with it.
The next World Festival is being held in Fukuoka, Japan, the first time a Golden Oldies Festival (in any code) has been staged in Japan! The city of Fukuoka has produced more Japanese International Rugby representatives than any other city in Japan and is the home to two professional Rugby Clubs, playing in the top League Competition. Situated on the island of Kyosho in the south west of the country, Fukuoka, a gateway to Asia, is a urban city of 1.5 million people with spectacular natural scenery and a highly developed tourism industry infrastructure.
