World University Rugby Invitational Tournament (WURIT)
WURIT is an international Rugby competition that brings together teams from top universities in the northern and southern hemispheres. The tournament is organised every four years in the country hosting the Rugby World Cup.
WURIT Bordeaux 2023 is the third such tournament, preceded by two others: the one organised in 2015 by the University of Oxford in England and the one organised in 2019 by the University of Waseda in Japan where the University of Bordeaux finished second.
For this 3rd tournament, the University of Bordeaux will also be hosting a women’s competition for the first time since the creation of the tournament.
