History in very short
Jyväskylä Rugby Club has been the host for this event since 2002. The very first Jyväskylä 7’s Snow Rugby Tournaments were played on the ice of Lake Jyväsjärvi. Past years’ participants include teams from Luxembourg, Wales,Ireland, Sweden and Italy. In the past, the tournament has been played on pitches located at Vehkalampi and in the Hippos and Lutakko Square. Most recently before our move to Palokka, we were playing in Laajis, Urban Outdoors Center located at Laajavuori. In 2024, the tournament was part of the SM-viikko event and the finals made it on YLE.
Right, so how am I getting there?
The location is about 8 km away from the city center. Several bus lines can get you there.
We can also use Liikuntapuisto parking lot if you’re coming by car.
Pitches, bitches
We are happy to announce that there is SNOW. Actual, real SNOW. The pitches will be about 20mx45m in size and very good for snow rugby.
What would be a better way to spend a winter’s day than enjoying rugby in a great company in a cool, fresh air? So sign up your team today and get ready for an unforgettable day in March 2025!
Welcome! Looking forward to a great tournament and sending you all the best from Jyväskylä,
