International Gay Rugby

International Gay Rugby (IGR), founded in 2000,[1] formerly known as the International Gay Rugby Association and Board (IGRAB), is the umbrella organisation for the world's gay and inclusive rugby clubs. Based in London, UK, IGR is recognised by World Rugby as the representative organisation of the LGBT and inclusive rugby community, up to the point they both have signed a Memorandum of Understanding[2] outlining a commitment between the two organisations to work together to educate and eliminate homophobia in rugby.

IGR ensures the regular celebration of the Bingham Cup, the biennial world championships of gay and inclusive rugby, as well as the Union Cup, the European tournament and NORAM, the North American tournament.
