Stirling Kaiviti 7s is not only a rugby tournament for the military community — it is a celebration that brings together the wider community around us.

Rugby has the power to unite people, fostering community spirit while creating an opportunity to share our love of the game, enjoy great food, and learn from one another’s cultures.

We invite everyone to be part of this special event. Please mark your calendars — you won’t want to miss this beautiful celebration at Stirling Rugby Football Club on Saturday, 4th July 2026.

Thank you and vinaka.
