For 39 years now (give or take a pandemic or flood!), rugby clubs–and referees–from all across North America have traveled to Nashville for this extraordinary event. Last year more than 100 teams enjoyed good running rugby, festive music and the great camaraderie that has come to define the Nash Bash.
With such a large event, referee exchanges are encouraged! We offer lodging, game-day meals/drinks, Saturday ref team dinner and AGM attendance (Big Bash only), plus game fees/travel stipend and a dry fit referee jersey. If you are interested in reffing at Nash Bash this year please email Tim Sheridan by 2/23; he will send your interest to Jake Winkler of WRRS.
BIG BASH: 3/23-24/2024
U19: 4/13-14/2024
Field Address: 2131 Lebanon Pike, Nashville, TN 37210
