Our favorite meeting of the year 🫶
As part of NYC, once a year we’re lucky enough to host one of our meetings at Allianz Stadium.
We covered a variety of topics including subcommittee and working group updates, governance review, sub-projects, social media content creation, our 2028 plan, and our upcoming council presentation.

We absolutely loved being hosted in the Spirit of Rugby and Council Box during the England v Ireland Women’s Six Nations game. It was a great game to watch and an amazing opportunity to see and speak with council members again 🌹
A big thank you to the England Rugby communications team, who also took us on a behind-the-scenes media tour of Allianz Stadium at the start of the day.
Congratulations on the win, 👏
