Gibraltar Rugby celebrates Rugby Europe inclusion

9 December, 2025 by Rugby Tour Spain

As reported by GBC and RugbyPass, Rugby Europe has confirmed the Gibraltar Rugby Football Union as its 49th member following a decisive vote at its 107th General Assembly in Alicante, ending a 15-year campaign for full recognition. The decision means Gibraltar’s men’s and women’s national sides will finally be eligible for official Test rugby, Rugby Europe competitions and development funding, with union figures hailing the move as a “landmark win” that will turbo-charge the game’s growth and give young players a genuine international pathway.

As the preferred travel provider for Gibraltar Rugby, Rugby Tour Spain is delighted to congratulate the GRFU on this fantastic news!
