Our Story
From a spontaneous pub decision to Manchester's premier touch rugby club - discover how Manchester Foxes became a World Cup breeding ground.
From Pub to Pitch
Manchester Foxes was born in 2020 during one unforgettable night at the pub. A group of friends, fueled by ambition (and perhaps a few pints), made the bold decision to enter almost every Touch Rugby tournament across the UK.
What started as an impulsive laugh quickly evolved into something extraordinary. Our ragtag bunch discovered a genuine passion for the sport and an even deeper love for building community.
Fast forward to today, and we've transformed from social players into a club that produces World Cup representatives. Our players proudly represented England, Malaysia, Scotland, and other nations at the 2024 Touch World Cup in Nottingham.
What We Stand For
Manchester Foxes isn't just about touch rugby - we're about building a community where everyone belongs, regardless of experience or background.

Excellence
We push each other to be better, on and off the pitch. From social players to World Cup athletes, everyone can achieve their personal best with us.

Rugby should be enjoyable! Our training sessions are intense but fun, and our social events are legendary. Work hard, play harder.
