UQ Rugby Benefit in New York City

The UQ Rugby Benefit is a great opportunity to network with fellow Australians, high level, C-Suite New York-based professionals and executives around the theme and spirit of rugby. Hosting a corporate table provides a touchpoint to engage US-based clients in a relaxed and sociable setting.

 

This year's event is timed conveniently a few days just after the completion of the Rugby World Club final in Paris, and we're celebrating all things Rugby World Cup. If you're travelling to Paris for the World Cup, why not break up your journey home and stop by New York?

 

Our event will feature World Cup legends including David Nucifora, Performance Director, Irish Rugby Football Union, and former Australian Wallaby and World Cup Winner. He'll be joined by other legends, including former English winger Ben Foden who has 34 caps, and Mike Petrie, the most capped backline player in USA rugby history and 2023 inductee into the US Rugby Hall of Fame.
