About “Il 6 Spiagge”

RiminiRugby proudly presents Il 6 Spiagge, the first International Beach Rugby Tournament on the Riviera Romagnola, scheduled from June 17 to July 23, 2023 open to Rugby Clubs from all over Europe and to all Rugby Union categories.

Il 6Spiagge means The Six Beaches: an exciting month of rugby, sunshine and sea in Italy’s iconic beach resorts: Rimini, Rivabella, Bellaria, Riccione and Cattolica.

We’ll play beach rugby over 6 straight weekends, each one focusing on a specific category, from Basic Rugby to Old. Over the weekend, each team will play 6 actual matches: every team will get the same fair chance to make the podium.

Beach Rugby is a variation of rugby that is played on sand. It is the same rugby we know and love, physical and exciting, but easier to play and to understand, even if you have never watched a game before. 

2 teams of 5 players each face off in 2 halves, each lasting 5 minutes, with 3-minute intervals and on-the-fly substitutions. Each match is ten minutes tops of adrenaline-fueled action, speed and power. Totally exciting and so entertaining to watch

Il 6 Spiagge is the beach rugby experience you didn’t know you needed. It takes place at the heart of Italy’s favourite vacation area, offering entertainment, nature, culture, the country’s best theme parks, plus a movida that winds along 40 kilometers of coastline with events, happenings and piadina galore!

Welcome to Romagna, land of the Dolce Vita!

Plastic-Free policy

We show the same respect for the environment as we do in the field: Il6Spiagge embraces a PlasticFree Beach policy to protect the environment and the coastal areas.

What to do and where to go in Romagna

All you may desire for a dream vacation is right in Romagna, the place to have a great time and meet new friends.

Smiles and friendliness will be with you during an unforgettable weekend featuring beach life, the exciting movida, amusement parks, art and culture and, of course, the local legendary food. You will be welcome in Rimini, Italy’s vacation destination par excellence, Riccione with its chic boulevards and nightlife, Bellaria with its ancient harbor, or elegant Cattolica with its Aquarium: all so rich in history and zest for life, by the sea’s infinite horizon.

Downtown Rimini

Rimini’s iconic landmarks date back to Roman Emperors Caesar and Tiberius , and to the House of Malatesta during the Renaissance. In today’s Rimini, traces of Federico Fellini’s half dreaming, half tongue-in-cheek heritage still hang out in Fellini’s Museum as well as everywhere around. Just take a walk in town, you will be feeling like a local in no time.

Theme and amusement parks

Italy’s epic theme and amusement parks are just out of your hotel door: yes, Romagna is a unique fun district: Italia in Miniatura, Mirabilandia, Oltremare, Aquafan, Cattolica Aquarium are all within easy reach. Pick your favourite!

Shopping in Style

Vintage shops and ateliers, as well as fine malls, such as Le Befane Shopping Center, are the “it” places to hit, to be at the heart of Made in Italy.

The Republic of San Marino

The world’s oldest democracy in Europe is a tiny sovereign state that will surprise you: San Marino, the ancient cradle of liberty, is definitely worth a trip.
