Carnegie Champion Schools

The Carnegie Champion Schools tournament is the biggest Rugby League knockout competition in the world, and the 2011 final was hosted by London Broncos at the Twickenham Stoop. Celebrating a decade of competition in 2012, the tournament is open to every secondary school in England, Wales and Scotland.

Rugby League has seen an immense growth in schools over the last few years which will support the development of the sport in the future and this competition has played a vital role in introducing the game to an ever increasing number of young people throughout the United Kingdom. The 2011 tournament saw a total of 1,678 teams take part nationally, an increase of 175 from 2010.

In the Broncos development areas of Kingston-upon-Thames, Richmond-upon-Thames, Hounslow, Ealing, and Surrey, the Foundation run the local rounds of the Champion Schools Competition.
