The Dragon Courier
Chiang Mai International Rugby 11s 2025
The Chiang Mai Rugby 11s is oh so excited to be back! With 18 teams from Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam coming to Chiang Mai for the tournament, it will bring some much-needed relief for a lot of business owners, as well as providing some spectacular sporting action on the pitch. This year we have a new brand sponsor and we welcome DRAGON COURIER to the 11s rugby family and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them, around the Asia region.
With the continued success of the Rugby 11s concept at last years event, Chiang Mai continues to be at the forefront of this innovative brand along with the annual Phuket International Rugby 11s, held in June.
This year’s tournament venue is the Suthep Municipal Stadium situated in the foothills of Doi Suthep. With the vet’s tournament, it’s a chance to see rugby of a bygone era, being played out in a spirit of camaraderie and fun. Even though their bodies might complain about the rigours of getting out of bed, never mind running around on a rugby pitch, they can still talk a good game, especially when those tonsils are liberally lubricated.
Saturday kicks off with the group stages of both the more serious Men’s & Women’s tournaments with Sunday, providing all the knockout action. Jean Luc is the referee’s manager, and his team of officials will be keeping order on the pitch and creating mayhem, off it!
The Bangkok Chiang Mai Hospital will provide medical services during the weekend
All the weekends action will be live streamed on www.youtube.com/@11sRugby.
