About Bingham Cup Amsterdam 2018

Prepare for impact!

Welcome to the Bingham Cup Amsterdam 2018, the biennial world championship of LGBTQIA+ and inclusive rugby clubs. First held in San Francisco in 2002, the Bingham Cup is the premier global event promoting rugby as an inclusive, non-discriminatory sport.

The Bingham Cup is named in memory of 9/11 hero and rugby player Mark Bingham, who was instrumental in establishing two of the leading gay rugby clubs in the USA: the San Francisco Fog and Gotham Knights. The global gay rugby community is privileged to honor the memory of a dear friend by competing in this tournament.

Every two years, Mark’s legacy brings together rugby players, supporters and professionals from around the world in a celebration of Equality, Inclusion and Sportsmanship with over 50 teams from 17 countries.
