Cheer for Japan's Women's Rugby Team on Rugby Day!

On August 24, 2025, the Japanese Rugby Football Union (Chairman: Masato Tsuchida, Minato City, Tokyo) is set to host a public viewing event for the Women’s Rugby World Cup match featuring Japan's national team. This exciting event will take place at the Sky Arena on the 4th floor of Tokyo Skytree Town® in Sumida City, Tokyo, as part of the "Tokyo Skytree Town® Beer Festa 2025" gathering.

Join fellow rugby enthusiasts for a unique viewing experience filled with food and drinks as you support Japan's Sakura Fifteen, who represent Asia in the prestigious World Cup. The current world ranking of Japan’s women’s rugby team stands at 11th place, while their first opponent will be the formidable Ireland, ranked 5th worldwide.

August 24 is considered "Rugby Day," commemorating the anniversary of rugby's inception over 200 years ago at Rugby School in England. It’s a special opportunity to unite with fans and cheer for the Sakura Fifteen as they aim for victory against Ireland.
