The World’s Largest St. Pat’s Tournament.

The St. Patrick’s Day Rugby Tournament in Savannah, Georgia isn’t just big—it’s one of the largest and most electric rugby events in the entire country. Each year, nearly 65 teams descend on Savannah from across the U.S. and even from Canada. The lineup shifts annually, bringing fresh faces, fierce competition, and nonstop excitement. All the action unfolds in the heart of Savannah at historic Daffin Park, transforming it into a rugby battleground every St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

The Savannah Shamrocks don’t just host an exciting tournament—they give back. Each year, a portion of the tournament’s proceeds is donated to local charities and to individuals in both the Savannah and rugby communities, making a real impact beyond the pitch. The Shamrocks also proudly roll through the city in their own float during Savannah’s legendary St. Patrick’s Day Parade—America’s second-largest celebration—bringing rugby spirit to one of the nation’s biggest parties.


2026 Tournament Update!!!!!
We are thrilled to invite you to the 2026 St. Patrick’s Day Rugby Tournament, taking place March 7–8, 2026. We’re looking forward to another exciting weekend of competition and camaraderie. While this year brings a few changes due to major renovations at our traditional venue—and a limited number of sites that can accommodate our usual turnout—we’re embracing the opportunity to make this tournament one of our best yet.

For 2026, matches will be held at two outstanding locations in Savannah: the Jennifer Ross Soccer Complex, featuring three high-quality turf fields, and Memorial Stadium, which will showcase an additional turf field with complete stadium seating. Though the venues are just 1.7 miles apart, each offers exceptional benefits, including expansive dedicated parking and fully lighted fields that will help us extend our normal playing hours.

Our tournament structure will remain unchanged, with every team guaranteed two matches on Saturday and one on Sunday. Matches are currently scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and conclude by 6:00 p.m. 

Tournament registration opens December 1, 2025, through our website. We plan to offer the following brackets, with the goal of keeping teams at the same location for both Saturday matches. Once brackets are full, we’ll start a waiting list for teams eager to jump into any spots that open up.

Men’s Open (1 slot available)

Women’s Open (4 slots available)

We’re also planning to bring back all the fun off-pitch amenities you’ve come to love—because the tournament experience doesn’t end when the final whistle blows!
We look forward to welcoming you back to Savannah for another exciting and memorable tournament weekend!
