Why Nijmegen Women and Girls’ Rugby Festival?

The Nijmegen Women and Girls’ Rugby Festival offers teams a unique opportunity to come together not only to compete at a high level, but also to honour the past through remembrance. Set in a town deeply affected by World War II, the festival reminds us of the importance of unity, courage, and resilience, both on and off the pitch!

For women and girls in rugby, this festival is a chance to take up space, be seen, and be celebrated on an international stage. It shows the strength of the women’s game and the importance of building global connections through sport. Travelling to Nijmegen reinforces confidence, broadens horizons, and creates memories that last a lifetime, all whilst being part of something much bigger than a single match.
