The Babcock Trophy

The Army v Navy match isn't just another fixture - it's the biggest day in military sport and one of the most iconic events on the UK Armed Forces calendar. On Saturday 2 May 2026, Allianz Stadium, Twickenham becomes the stage for the nation's largest amateur sporting event, bringing together fans, families, and forces from across the country.

A rivalry like no other

For over a century, the Royal Navy and British Army have clashed on the rugby field in a contest defined by tradition, pride, and raw passion. In two of the last three years, the Senior Men's fixture has been decided in the dying moments - a testament to the grit, skill, and drama that defines this historic rivalry.

The Senior Women's teams are making their own mark, too. They've elevated their Inter Service Championship battle to English rugby's grandest stage, adding a compelling new dimension to this storied competition.

Two battles. Two trophies. One unforgettable day.
This special double header brings both men's and women's fixtures together, celebrating the heritage of service rugby and its exciting future.
