When was beach rugby invented?

Sports Asked on July 7, 2021

Beach rugby is a variation of rugby league that is officially maintained and governed by the IRL.

However, I don’t seem to find any information regarding the invention of the sport, the Wikipedia page only lists its rules and competitions (poorly referenced) and the History of rugby league article focus solely on the traditional form of the game.

So, when was beach rugby invented and under what circumstances?

One Answer

From the link @mepqfilho sent, I presume he is referring to Rugby League.

I did find info on the Rugby Union version and I presume that its origins might be quite similar being "word of mouth". There are three types of beach rugby union:

  • Beach Touch Rugby
  • Beach Tag Rugby
  • Beach Fives Rugby

On the Beach Rugby Channel it states it's been part of Rugby Union since 2010 and on BeachRugby.eu it says "Its growth in popularity has been successfully built on a ‘WORD of MOUTH’ basis for more than 20 years."
