Ireland Rugby (IRFU) and Ireland Touch Association will work closely together, to develop the game of Touch Rugby in Ireland. In 2023, the two bodies collaborated to develop a suite of educational resources on Touch rugby , which can be found here.
The IRFU is committed to offering choice to participants and this partnership will further strengthen our ability to deliver a quality non-contact form of the game. In the recent ‘State of the Game’ survey, 30% of people surveyed said they wanted to take part in non-contact forms of the game.
Currently, qualified coaches from the ITA are training staff in the four provinces to deliver Touch rugby modules in clubs, schools, and third level institutions.
