T1 Rugby (Non-contact)

T1 Rugby has launched! The world’s first non-contact sport that fully reflects the unique characteristics of rugby union, to supercharge participation and engagement.

From the 24/25 season, T1 Rugby will be introduced to schools and clubs in England, replacing The Touch Union initiative.

‘A game for everyone, played by anyone', T1 Rugby has an emphasis on fun, fitness and inclusion and provides a fun, welcoming and safe environment for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

It is the first non-contact form of the game that reflects the characteristics of rugby union, including lineouts, scrums, kicking and a breakdown, while remaining simple to play.

Whatever your pace:

  • Running
  • Walking
  • Tag

 

Whatever your space:

  • Adult Social
  • Mixed Social 
  • Age-Grade

 

Whether you walk or run, T1 Rugby can be played however you need. It is England Rugby’s endorsed non-contact format and is open to everyone.

If you're interested in playing T1 Rugby, speak to your local club.
