St. Patrick’s Day Savannah Rugby Tournament

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.
