World Rugby’s two flagship U20 competitions are the World Rugby U20 Championship and World Rugby U20 Trophy. The two age-grade tournaments are designed to “…increase the competitiveness of global rugby… and provide a meaningful pathway to the elite level for talented young players.”

First held in 2008, the showpiece events have seen more than 1,500 players go on to make their test debut after playing on this stage, including 32 Rugby World Cup winners. After a successful event in Kenya last year, the 2024 World Rugby U20 Trophy switches to the northern hemisphere and will be played at Edinburgh’s Hive Stadium. Played over four matchday, eight teams will be battling for promotion to next year’s World Rugby U20 Championship.

Scotland have been drawn in Pool A of the 2024 World Rugby U20 Trophy alongside Japan, Samoa and Hong Kong China, while Pool B consists of last year’s runner-up Uruguay, USA, Kenya and tournament debutants Netherlands.

Day tickets and match tickets are now available (see below). If you can’t make it along to Hive Stadium the good news is you can still watch Scotland’s games on television: Scottish Rugby confirmed that all of Scotland’s World Rugby U20 Trophy matches will be shown live and exclusive on free-to-air BBC ALBA and BBC iPlayer in the UK. This includes the age-grade team’s three pool matches, along with their final play-off on Wednesday 17 July (time TBC).

Tickets are on sale now from the Scottish Rugby website.
