Engrave Your Name on the Raeburn Shield – Be a Part of Rugby History

£300.00

Rugby’s magic lies in its shared traditions, where every match contributes to a greater story. The Raeburn Shield encapsulates this spirit, tracing a lineal championship back to rugby’s first-ever international match in 1871, when Scotland defeated England at Raeburn Place, Edinburgh – the birthplace of international rugby and the inspiration for our name.

To honour this heritage, the Raeburn Shield will be crafted from English Oak, a respectful nod to England, Scotland’s opponent in that historic match. This masterfully shaped oak serves as the foundation for a timeless trophy that celebrates rugby’s enduring legacy. With your support, the intricate metalwork and then silverwork – the Shield’s crowning feature – can be completed, bringing this symbol of rugby history to life.

The Raeburn Shield isn’t just a trophy; it’s a story, tracking its mythical title through every men’s international match since 1871. Now, fans like you can join this legacy, making it truly a community-driven tradition.
