Rugby is played in 121 countries and the Rugby World Championships—held every 4 years as the World Cup—are the third most important international sporting event after the Olympics and the Soccer World Cup.
The Illinois Youth Rugby Association (iYRA) is sanctioned by the International Rugby Board (iRB) to develop youth rugby in the State of Illinois. You can apply for or renew your membership, which helps to maintain your standing with the iYRA.
The Illinois Youth Rugby Association is responsible for the organization of rugby competitions between high school and youth rugby clubs within the state, staging the annual State Rugby Champioship Finals, and also the administration of the Illinois All State rugby team—Tornados (boys) and Tornadoes (girls)—to play competitive rugby games against other All State teams and international youth rugby teams.
The iYRA organizes and encourages participation of both girls and boys of all ages up to their late teen years to learn and play the sport of rugby. You can also keep up-to-date by signing up for the free iYRA newsletter or checking the iYRA Calendar.
Rugby has a strong tradition worldwide that will benefit the youth of Illinois in their social lives, college days and in the business world through fellowship with other rugby players.
