International Gay Rugby


International Gay Rugby, formerly known as the International Gay Rugby Association and Board, is the umbrella organisation for the world's gay and inclusive rugby clubs. Based in London, UK, IGR is recognised by World Rugby as the representative organisation of the LGBT and inclusive rugby community, up to the point they both have signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining a commitment between the two organisations to work together to educate and eliminate homophobia in rugby.
Also, IGR provides its member clubs with development support and resources in the areas of club organisation, recruitment, retention, fundraising, event management, and regional and national union relations. IGR ensures the regular celebration of the Mark Kendall Bingham Memorial Tournament, or Bingham Cup, the biennial world championships of gay and inclusive rugby, as well as the Union Cup, the European tournament.
