Key Information

The Rugby Experience

Rugby in Spain is exploding. The country did qualify for both the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups, but sadly, administrative errors saw them eliminated before a ball was kicked.

The game at Youth Level is highly impressive & the top teams in Barcelona will offer a stern test to the best of the game from the traditional rugby playing countries.

The facility at BUC Rugby on Montjuic is set in the shadows of the Olympic Stadium & is a magnificent base to prepare for your tour games. BUC themselves, along with FC Barcelona Rugby, Sant Cugat, Santboiana and others are all progressive clubs offering great opposition and wonderful facilities. 

It isn't all elite though, there are a number of junior clubs in the city who can offer a competitive match at all levels.
