Rugby Colorno

Leicester Tigers partnered with Italian outfit Rugby Colorno in December 2018.

Colorno’s Men’s first team currently play in the second tier of Italian rugby union, whilst the Women’s team are Italy’s current reigning champions of the sport.

Founded in 1975, the club has progressed year on year thanks to a strong community development programme and projects with local schools.

Eight members of the Rugby Colorno Women’s team were also involved in the Italian national squad who finished second to England in the 2019 Women’s Six Nations.

The Colorno club fields 10 teams from the under-6 age group up to senior Men’s and Women teams and regularly hosts summer camps and rugby camps for young players to develop their game.
