Where to Find Royal Navy Rugby Union Fixtures and Match Reports
Updated
The official Royal Navy Rugby Union website, navyrugbyunion.co.uk, has two dedicated sections for this: Fixtures and Match Reports. The Fixtures section lists upcoming games with dates, opponents, kick-off times and venues, while Match Reports covers completed matches. Both are reachable from the site's main navigation, alongside the Inter Service Championship and the VX3 Shop.
What the Fixtures section shows
Each fixture entry follows a consistent format, so you can scan for the details you need without opening anything else:
- Date – for example, 30 Sep 2026
- Competition or round – such as Navy Cup Round One or Navy Cup Round Two
- Teams – for example, HMNB Devonport v HMS Seahawk, or U23 XV vs Havant RFC
- Kick-off time – for example, 14:00 or 19:00, with TBC where not yet confirmed
- Venue – for example, @ Devonport Services RFC or @ Havant RFC
Listings on the site include:
| Date | Fixture | Time | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Sep 2026 | Navy Cup Round One – HMNB Devonport v HMS Seahawk | 14:00 | Devonport Services RFC |
| 30 Sep 2026 | Navy Cup Round One – HMS Collingwood v HMS Prince of Wales | 18:30 | HMS Collingwood |
| 07 Oct 2026 | U23 XV vs Havant RFC | 19:00 | Havant RFC |
| 08 Oct 2026 | Senior Women XV vs WRU Dev | TBC | South Wales – TBC |
| 21 Oct 2026 | Royal Marines vs Fleet Air Arm | 19:00 | Devonport Services RFC |
| 11 Nov 2026 | UK Armed Forces Men vs Remembrance Fixture | 19:00 | Kingsholm Stadium |
Competitions covered
The fixture list spans more than one competition, so it is worth checking which one you are following:
- Navy Cup – opening rounds and later rounds, played at naval bases and clubs such as HMS Collingwood and Devonport Services RFC
- Inter Service Championship – the Army v Navy fixture at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, listed for Saturday 1 May 2027
- Representative and development fixtures – Senior Men, Senior Women, U23 XV, Royal Marines, Fleet Air Arm and Mariners matches against club, combined services and international opposition
Match Reports: results after the fact
Match Reports is the place to look once a game has been played. Entries pair the result with the same identifying details used in the fixture list — date, teams, kick-off time and venue — for example:
- 02 May 2026 – Senior Men vs Army Senior XV, 14:00 @ Allianz Stadium
- 02 May 2026 – Senior Women vs Army Women, 16:45 @ Allianz Stadium
- 18 Apr 2026 – Senior Men vs RAF Senior Men, 16:15 @ DPD Stadium
- 28 Mar 2026 – Senior Men vs Marine Nationale, TBC @ Stade Mayol
Because reports are published after matches, a fixture you saw in the Fixtures section will typically appear here later with the outcome and write-up.
Other things the site covers
- Latest news – updates such as the Lions Legend charity bike ride appeal (25 September 2026), an England Rugby coaching course (23 September 2026) and the Navy 7s season (05 September 2026)
- Tickets – Army v Navy 2027 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, listed as on sale
- VX3 Shop – the official Royal Navy Rugby Union merchandise range
Practical notes
- Times and venues are sometimes marked TBC, so confirm closer to the date before travelling.
- Venues range from naval establishments (HMS Collingwood) to club and stadium grounds (Devonport Services RFC, Kingsholm Stadium, Allianz Stadium), so check the location rather than assuming a home ground.
- The site is published in English (en-GB), and some pages — including ticket and shop areas — may require you to follow an external link or sign up.
