• 21st “Buca” Winter Rugby Tourney

    March 1, 2025 @ 09:00 19:00

    It’s time for our annual cold-weather get together!

    All proceeds support our beneficiary, Joe “Rubber” Lang, who is battling a very rare occurrence of cancer returning after beating it 20 years ago.

    Buca is an open co-ed tournament hosted by the St. Paul Jazz Pigs where teams are picked at random, so showing up with your team, a couple friends, or by yourself is totally an option! We recommend bringing all your friends though, it’s just more fun that way.

    Players: Cost is $50 or $45 pre-registered for Senior Players, $40 or $35 pre-registered for College Players. Check in and/or Day Of registration is from 9-10 with rugby following. You get a tournament shirt, a fun filled day of rugby, a fried chicken dinner at the social post tourney complete with a raffle and other festivities, and a bar crawl through River Falls that night.

    Spectators: Watching the action is free, but if you’d like to join in on the chicken dinner, raffle, and festivities at the social, you can! $30 or $25 pre-registered.

    Sponsors: If you or your company would like to sponsor the tournament and have your logo on our shirt, we’d love to have you! Payment can be made online as well, and email Brent at btguimon@gmail.com about your logo.

    New for this year, we’ve reserved a block at the Radisson River Falls and offering rooms at $109 for the night! Use code “SPJP” (Saint Paul Jazz Pigs) or click the link: https://www.choicehotels.com/reservations/groups/NJ50G8

  • 15th Annual Mike Lundberg Tournament

    In 2004, the Mike Lundberg Memorial Tournament started as a fun opportunity to play winter rugby for men and women of all skill levels while donating 100% of the proceeds to help defray the costs of Mike’s treatments. Sadly, Mike lost his long battle with Leukemia in 2008. At the request of his family, we have continued the tournament to celebrate his life and help a member of the Minnesota rugby community in need.

    We are required by USA Rugby to verify the CIPP of all tournament participants. Verification will take place Friday, March 2nd at 2:00 pm. IF YOU ARE NOT CIPP REGISTERED AT THAT TIME, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS.

    More details about registration to come.
