We’re excited to announce that the 2021 Mary Graham All Star Tournament will take place in Grand Prairie, TX on December 4-5, 2021. This annual event has been renamed in honor of TRU Hall of Fame member Mary Graham who created the first U23 Texas Rugby Union All Star team in 2001. Read more about the renaming of the event.

The TRU All Star team will be joined by Mid-America, Pacific NW, Capital, Midwest (2), Chicago Lions and the Austin Valkyries.
