Welcome to the 39th Annual Harrisburg 7’s Tournament!
What an incredible year it has been for rugby! As we head into summer, we are thrilled to once again bring you an exciting and action-packed Harrisburg 7s Tournament. To each of you who chose to participate—thank you. Your commitment, energy, and sportsmanship are what make this tournament so special, year after year.
On behalf of the Harrisburg Rugby Football Club, I extend my heartfelt thanks to the 2025 Harrisburg 7s Tournament Committee. Your hard work and dedication have made this tournament run smoothly and successfully—thank you for everything you do behind the scenes.
We are especially proud to celebrate the continued growth of rugby at the grassroots level. Across the country, more young athletes are discovering the passion, discipline, and community that rugby offers. This surge in participation is fueling the future of our sport—and we see it reflected right here at Harrisburg 7s. I encourage you to check out our youth ruggers today as we welcome Cumberland Valley Youth Rugby Association to our pitches!
A special note of gratitude goes out to our generous sponsors. Your support makes this event possible, and we encourage all participants and spectators to support the businesses featured in this program—they are true champions of our sport.
To our referees: thank you. Your time, expertise, and dedication keep the game fair and safe, and we are deeply grateful for your presence on the pitch today.
We also want to recognize our community partners. Thank you to Londonderry Township for embracing our club as we kicked-off the first season this past year at our permanent home — HRFC Perseverance Lodge Fields at Sunset Park. A sincere thank-you as well to Dauphin County Technical School for hosting this year’s tournament and being a continued supporter of our annual Harrisburg 7s tournament.
To all the players, coaches, and fans: best of luck in today’s matches! We’re honored to have you here, and we hope this year’s tournament is your most memorable yet. We look forward to seeing you back in 2026!
And as Coach Dennis Shade once said, “Rugby is a ball; pass it on.”
Yours in Rugby,
Courtney Reapsome
Chairwoman, Harrisburg Rugby Football Club, Inc.
