The 2022 PRFU Luzon Rugby Cup will feature the top rugby players in the Philipines and adopt a festival day format. A champion will be confirmed in each division for every competition day.

It was a long wait for the Philippine Rugby community to return to full-contact games on home soil. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the development of the sport in the country.

>However, we look forward to this new normal and are grateful for this opportunity to play once again. It is great to see that the clubs are all excited to return to play once again and we have 17 teams registered for 4 divisions in Luzon alone.” shared Acee San Juan of Philippine Rugby.

Further monthly festivals will be scheduled from April to June 2002, however, additional festival days are being secured to add game days for all teams.
