There’s nothing quite like the Bingham Cup. The biggest amateur rugby tournament in the world, the competition is gay and inclusive rugby’s world championships, with each edition famed for guaranteeing good time for all involved. And the latest incarnation held in Ottawa, Canada was no exception - just ask Lawrence Howard.
The story behind the Bingham Cup is the stuff of legend. The competition is named for Mark Bingham, a 6’4”, 102kg gay rugby player who turned out for San Francisco Fog, an inclusive team formed in 2000. In 2001, Mark was the last person to board United Airlines flight 93 on September 11th.
Inclusive rugby clubs from across the world now gather in Mark’s name for the iconic Bingham Cup, with his mother Alice Hoagland attending every match up until her death in January 2021. Some 83 clubs from 20 different countries travelled to Ottawa, with London’s Kings Cross Steelers becoming the first European winners after beating the New York Gotham Knights in the final.
