World’s largest tag rugby festival to draw thousands

More than 150 tag rugby teams from Ireland, Britain and as far away as Australia will gather in Limerick from July 10-12 for the 2014 Pig ‘N’ Porter Festival, regarded as the world’s largest tag rugby festival.

Up to 2,500 players and 5,000 visitors will descend on Ireland’s City of Culture for the festival.

Hosted on the grounds of Old Crescent RFC, the 13th annual festival combines sport, food and live music in Ireland’s rugby capital.
