Rugby Football Union of East Africa (RFUEA) Grounds

Venue for: Main Tournament, Schools Tournament, Women’s Tournament

The famous Rugby Football Union of East Africa (RFUEA) ground has been the home of the Kenya Rugby Football Union since 1955. The inaugural match in the same year saw the British Isles touring team, The British Lions, run in 11 tries to beat East Africa 39-12.

The RFUEA ground is a world class rugby venue which hosts Africa’s premier rugby 7s tournament, the Safari Sevens; Africa’s premier rugby 15s franchise tournament, the Rugby Super Series; men’s and women’s 7s and 15s world cup qualifiers, the finals of Kenya’s domestic 7s and 15s seasons as well as school rugby championship finals. The grounds are also used for mini rugby as the Kenya Rugby Football Union illustrates its commitment to the development of rugby throughout the country.

The venue hosts over 15,000 rugby fans over the Safari Seven weekend each year and extensive improvements to the grounds are currently taking place in readiness of the JWRT. These include an improved playing surface, a brand new media centre, medical and anti-doping facilities as well as brand new spectator sitting.
