About the festival
More than a rugby tournament
Rugby World Festival is a youth rugby experience built around competition, friendship and discovery.
Festival experience
Experience the festival
From the moment a team arrives, the festival becomes a shared journey. Players compete on the pitch, represent their club with pride and discover new rugby cultures, while coaches, families and supporters come together around the game. Between matches, the Costa Brava setting creates space to relax, connect and enjoy the trip as a squad. It is a weekend shaped by sporting challenge, fair play, camaraderie and the memories created when teams travel and experience rugby together.

The first chapter
Where rugby becomes connection
An international rugby festival creates connections that go far beyond the final whistle. Players compete with intensity, respect their opponents and share the values that define the game: fair play, solidarity and team spirit. Every match, conversation and shared moment can bring different rugby cultures closer together, turning a weekend of competition into friendships and memories that cross borders.
Different nations. One rugby spirit.
