It’s that time of year again! The Mary Graham All Stars is back and ready to celebrate its milestone tenth edition. This premier women’s rugby event will be held on December 6-7, 2025, returning to Grand Prairie, Texas. After a soggy 2024, organizers are hoping for clear skies and fast pitches at the Grand Prairie Mountain Creek Soccer Complex.
The tournament is a key scouting event for the USA Rugby Eagles Women’s National Team, and this year’s field promises to be as competitive as ever. The Cup bracket features four top-tier teams, led by the Midwest, who are on the hunt for a historic four-peat. The Midwest has dominated the tournament, securing the Cup title in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Their 27-5 victory over the Texas Toast in the 2024 Cup Final solidified their three-year reign.
The Texas Toast, who previously achieved a three-peat from 2017-2019, will be looking for redemption after their runner-up finish last year. Also returning to the Cup are the USA South Panthers, and the Capital, who earned their spot by winning the Plate competition in 2024. Capital defeated the South Selects 45-7 in the Plate Final, earning promotion to the top tier for the 2025 tournament.
The Plate bracket will also showcase exciting matchups. Longtime attendees and original partners, Mid-America, are back in the mix. We are also excited to announce newcomers Eastern Penn (EPRU), Carolinas (CRGU), and the Southeast Reapers, a U24 side. While the Southwest and Pacific will not be in attendance this year, their future return is anticipated.
All matches will be live-streamed on the TRU YouTube channel, a result of the continued partnership with Nutmeg Sports Media. This ensures fans and scouts can follow every tackle, run, and score, whether they are in person or watching from afar. Each team will play two 40-minute matches over the course of the weekend.
As the tournament celebrates its tenth year, the 2025 Mary Graham All Stars promises to be a memorable event, highlighting the skill, dedication, and growing talent within women’s rugby. Stay tuned for more details and roster announcements as the event draws closer.
