Premiership Touch Rugby and the clubs work together to provide a fun social activity during the traditionally quiet summer months at rugby clubs around England.

The clubs participating benefit in a direct profit sharing arrangement with Premiership Touch Rugby as well as the increased numbers of players, officials and supporters that use the club’s bar and catering facilities on Premiership Touch Rugby nights at the venues.

This arrangement will see the venues share in the revenue generated by the number of teams that take part during the Premiership Touch Rugby Leagues.
