TAS Rugby Carnival 2026

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for The Armidale School Rugby Carnival (TASRC). In 2026, alongside our traditional Under 12s (15-a-side) and Girls Under 14s & 16s (7-a-side), we are proudly introducing the Under 10s (12-a-side) to the carnival lineup.

This addition is all about promoting junior rugby, encouraging greater engagement with younger players, and providing an opportunity for emerging athletes to hone their skills in a fun, supportive, and casually competitive environment. It’s the perfect way to foster a love of the game early, while helping players develop the teamwork, discipline, and core rugby skills they’ll take into older age groups.

With up to 60 teams converging for an action-packed weekend, TASRC remains a highlight on the rugby calendar bringing a chance for players of all ages to connect, compete, and celebrate the unique camaraderie that rugby brings.

An official opening will be held on the afternoon of Friday, 17 April. It’s a fantastic opportunity for young players to experience the excitement of a regional rugby tour while forming lifelong memories with teammates and supporters.
