Knock-on, rock-on.
It is going to be quite the scrum in Commerce City this summer.
The World Rugby Nations Cup is coming to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on July 4 with a doubleheader featuring Zimbabwe opposite of Tonga followed by the headline matchup pitting the USA Eagles against Portugal.
The games will be held in conjunction with the free 4thFEST family-friendly festival and the state’s largest public fireworks display.
Tickets for the matches will go on on Tuesday, April 7. General sale follows on April 9 at 10 a.m.
“Consistent competition for our senior national teams continues to be a primary goal at USA Rugby, as we look to grow on the global stage,” USA Rugby CEO Bill Goren said. “The World Rugby Nations Cup and these first three fixtures at home are excellent opportunities for our Men’s Eagles, and for USA fans to gather around them.”
The World Rugby Nations Cup tournament includes the 12 qualifiers for the Men’s Rugby World Cup. The teams will compete in two pools of six across the July and November international windows to prepare for Australia in 2027.
“Commerce City is incredibly excited for this new chapter of 4thFEST alongside the World Rugby Nations Cup,” said Commerce City Mayor Steve Douglas in a press release. “4thFEST is a long-standing tradition in our community, and we look forward to giving our residents a new twist on this event while welcoming rugby fans to Commerce City for a memorable Independence Day celebration and fireworks show.”
