In order to promote and develop the organization of Beach and Snow Rugby competitions/activities, Rugby Europe today has announced the signing of a licensing agreement with the Rugby Union of Russia (R.U.R.) for a three-year period (2021/2023).
Following on from the last Men and Women’s Beach and Snow Rugby European Championships, held in Moscow in 2019, these two disciplines represent alternative rugby participation development that R.U.R has been consistently growing.
Under this agreement, Rugby Europe assigns the Russian Federation to:
• Develop Beach and Snow Rugby competitions across Europe
• Develop the commercial value of these disciplines
• Provide a structured competition framework to all European Rugby Unions with consistent enforcement of the official rules to ensure both player welfare and a harmonized understanding to the two disciplines in Europe, under the unique governance of Rugby Europe
• To promote rugby as an all seasons and all grounds sport
The two governing bodies agree to work and advocate jointly for the inclusion of Beach and Snow Rugby in European and Global multisport Games and to encourage World Rugby to integrate both practices as official disciplines.
