The Classic, which features former top players once again representing their countries in international competition, encompasses eleven international matches over the course of the Classic Week, including a women's international between the British Isles and the United States.
All the games are played at the National Sports Centre, the venue for the Classic since 2000. With packages which range from daily admission to the ground through various levels, culminating in the Members Tent (the VIP facility), the Classic provides a wide range of ticket prices to suit every budget. And for those involved in corporate entertainment, our Corporate Hospitality Village is considered to be one of the best in sport, situated right on the touchline, up close and personal!
The World Rugby Classic was first played in Bermuda in 1988, developing from the Easter Rugby Classic, an event which featured many of the world's top players from 1972 to 1992. As players left the international arena, mainly due to the whims of the international selectors, a void was created in that a stage no longer existed for the players to show their many talents or to inter-mingle with their fellow internationals from around the globe. Thus, the idea was conceived to bring back these players by providing them with an opportunity to, once again, represent their country in international competition.
With ten international matches in the Classic competition, a women's international as well as an international match involving Bermuda and the Caribbean, the Classic has caught the imagination of players and spectators alike. With spectators able to mix freely with some of the great names of international rugby in a great social environment, Classic week is an event unique in the world of sport.
