Don’t forget to grab your tickets for the 2023 Canadian University Men’s Rugby Championship, hosted by Trinity Western University, in partnership with the Langley Events Centre and the Township of Langley, at Willoughby Stadium Nov. 15-19, 2023.

Come and support your BC teams in the Nationals! The 2023 event will mark the third time the CUMRC has been held in BC, with the Victoria hosting the event in 2018 and UBC hosting in 2022.

The CUMRC will feature eight teams competing for the Spence McTavish Trophy, named after the UBC Rugby legend and former Canadian national team captain.

The breakdown of teams sees representation from regions across Canada with TWU guaranteed a berth as host. The five-day tournament will kick off with each team playing in quarter final action on day one. The winners advance to the championship side of the draw, while the losing teams are relegated to a consolation round.

This will be the fourth time TWU has hosted a national championship tournament, but it will be the first time hosting the CUMRC. Previously, TWU hosted U SPORTS championship tournaments in women’s soccer (2008), men’s soccer (2009) and men’s volleyball (2011). In all three championships, the Spartans medalled at home, winning the national title in women’s soccer and men’s volleyball and winning a bronze medal in men’s soccer.
