Engrave Your Name on the Utrecht Shield – Be a Part of Rugby History
Engrave Your Name on the Utrecht Shield – Be a Part of Rugby History
Rugby is at its best when everyone competes for the same prize – a unifying title that links players, fans, and generations. While the Rugby World Cup embodies this spirit, the Utrecht Shield brings it to life in a new way for the women’s game. By tracing a lineal championship back to the first women’s international match in 1982, the Utrecht Shield honours rugby’s rich tradition and champions its future.
That first match saw France defeat the Netherlands in Utrecht, marking the beginning of this mythical title’s journey. Today, with your help, we’re transforming that legacy into a tangible symbol of women’s rugby – one fans can rally behind, and players can aspire to hold.
Your support not only helps publicise the Shield but also contributes directly to its creation. We’ve already selected French Oak for the Shield’s base, masterfully crafted by Oak and Black in Edinburgh (visit them for stunning woodwork gifts!). The next step is applying the metalwork and eventually silverwork, a key element of its design and a significant investment that fan contributions will help us achieve.
