How to Arrange a Successful Rugby Championship

December 22, 2007 by  

Rugby is a high-impact,fast-paced, and exhilarating game. Though football is the most-watched sport in the world, rugby has an international base of fans that is growing all the time. Unlike cricket, rugby tickets have been popularized in more than just former British colonies, it’s accepted all over Europe and South America, as well as Australia, South Africa, the US, etc.

Below, we discuss some of the leading international rugby tournaments in the world, the greatest ones to buy rugby tickets and six nation tickets for, and what makes tournaments so successful

The most famous international rugby tournament is, of course, the Rugby World Cup. It’s also the most money-making, with every match watched by millions, both on TV and at the stadiums by those who can get rugby tickets. In fact, it’s the third most highly rated international sporting competition in the world, with only the summer Olympics and the FIFA World Cup drawing a larger audience.

Another of the most famous Rugby tournaments in the world, the Six Nations tournament, began in 1883, when England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland competed in what was called the Home International Championship. Afterward, in 1910, France joined the competition, which was renamed Five Nations. When Italy joined in the year 2000, the tournament became known as the Six Nations Championship, the phrase we know it by today. There are quite a few things that make the Six Nations Championship such a popular rugby tournament, and Six Nations tickets such coveted items.

Another very popular Rugby touring team that many purchase international rugby tickets for is the British Lions, or the British and Irish Lions. The British Lions has terrific players from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and is a touring team that competes in Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand every four years.

However, the awarding of bonus points can undeniably change the standings. Even to the losing team, one point is given for scoring four tries, and one point is awarded for losing by seven points or a smaller amount. You’ll have to skip the Six Nations tournament, however, if you want the thrill of the bonus points system– you’ll want to buy your England rugby tickets or Scotland rugby tickets for a different tour. While the bonus system is normal in most international tours, Six Nations doesn’t use it.
