There’s tough and there’s
Cascadia Rugby Masters tough!
Welcome to Vancouver - Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival 2027
Allen Pruden, President, Cascadia Masters Rugby Union
On behalf of the Cascadia Masters Rugby Union (CMRU), we extend a very warm welcome to all the teams, players, supporters and friends of rugby joining us in Vancouver, May 22–29, 2027. We are excited to welcome visitors from around the world and look forward to sharing a week of rugby, friendship, laughter and unforgettable experiences with you. Whether this is your first visit to Vancouver or a return to familiar territory, we hope you will feel right at home.
Masters rugby has a proud tradition in the Pacific Northwest, with roots dating back to the early 1970s. Today, CMRU brings together nine clubs from British Columbia and Washington State, while our representative touring side, Old Growth Rugby, continues to build friendships and connections with the international rugby community. We share a common belief that rugby is about so much more than what happens on the field.
We look forward to meeting you, sharing a few stories over a pint, making new friendships and celebrating everything that makes Golden Oldies rugby so special. Vancouver and the surrounding region have plenty to offer, and we can’t wait to show you some good old-fashioned West Coast hospitality.
Safe travels, welcome to Vancouver, and let the good times begin!
