About the festival

Rugby the way it should be

The Abu Dhabi Harlequins Junior Rugby Tournament brings clubs from across the UAE and the Gulf together across two brilliant days of mini, midi and youth rugby — great games, new friends and a proper festival atmosphere.

Hosted by the Quins — a grass-roots, not-for-profit club run entirely by volunteers since 1970. Every side gets a full day of rugby and every family is welcome. Bring your boots, bring your voice.
