Following a long period of closure throughout lockdown, the World Rugby Museum is preparing to re-open on Tuesday 18 May 2021, provided guidance from the UK Government permits.

The World Rugby Museum has joined the ranks of sites such as V&A Museum, Chester Zoo, Fulham Palace, and Windsor castle with their recent achievement of the Sandford Award 2020.

On 26 January 1871 at the Pall Mall Restaurant on London’s Regent Street, a meeting took place between representatives from 21 clubs, many of which are still in existence today. The representatives were young men, the average age being 23, many were club captains and together they created the world’s first governing body for rugby football.

To coincide with the 2020 Guinness Six Nations, the World Rugby Museum will be hosting an exclusive exhibition to highlight the career of acclaimed Welsh rugby star, Charlie Pritchard.
