Get ready for a thrilling day of sport and summer fun as the Manilva Beach Rugby Costa Barbarians tournament returns to the sands of Sabinillas on Saturday, 19th July. Taking place at La Noria beach, this high-energy event brings together rugby enthusiasts from across the region for a full day of fast-paced, sun-soaked action.
Organised by the Costa Barbarians in collaboration with Manilva’s Sports Department, the tournament forms part of the Spanish Beach Rugby 5 Series and will feature U12s, U14s, U16s, and veterans’ categories. Teams will battle it out on the beach from 11 am, offering a spectacle of strength, strategy, and speed—with a fun, festival vibe to match.
Spectators can enjoy the matches up close from the shore, with refreshments and beach bars available throughout the day. As tradition dictates, the event will wrap up with the famous “third half”: a laid-back barbecue and prize-giving celebration from 8 pm, bringing players together to toast a great day of rugby.
Whether you’re a rugby fan or just looking for a unique day out by the sea, the Costa Barbarians’ beach rugby tournament promises sun, sport, and community spirit in one of the Costa del Sol’s most vibrant settings.
