The Rugby > Entering Your Team

You may enter a team by completing the team entry form at Entry Form.

From 2012 onwards, a team or squad will consist of 12 players plus 1 manager, previously it was 10 in a squad. There is no increase in team entry fee, it still costs €380 for 13 where it used to cost €380 for 11. In sevens, at any time there are 7 players on the pitch, and with a squad of 12 this means you have maximum of 5 substitutes.

The rules around substituting players can be found in our Tournament Rules. Please do not attempt to bring more than 12 players in your squad (unless you are a Vets team). Of course, you may enter multiple teams if you wish on payment of the appropriate entry fees. Your team entry fee provides for entry to the competition for all squad members, free lunch on Saturday and Sunday, and entry into your desired competition. Vets may bring up to 15 players, and we are flexible whether Vets wish to play 10 a side, or 15 a side on the Friday.

Competition structure, and the number of games your team will play,  will depend on number of teams entered. See Competitions & Prizes for more details.

So you should choose the competition you wish to enter, complete the entry form and then decide whether to pay by Cheque or Credit Card. We do accept euro and sterling denominated cheques. Please be aware that entry into your desired competition is not confirmed until we have both received and processed your payment, and an email will be sent confirming these actions.

As we approach the beginning of April we will draw the competitions, and as we are limited by both time and pitch space, this will gauge how many teams we can accept into each of the competitions. It is not ‘marketing hype’ when we say that all competitions fill up during the first week or two of April. We always have disappointed teams who have left it too late to enter, and it’s not a good conversation to have to a team who may have booked their travel and accommodation that their competition is full. So please, it helps you and it helps us to enter and pay your team fee before the end of March. This will typically guarantee a place in your desired competition.
