Connecting Shizuoka and Ireland: The 'St. Patrick's Green Cup'
This tournament brings together women's 7-a-side rugby teams from across Japan to Shizuoka Prefecture. This year, four teams participated. Named after the Irish holiday 'St. Patrick's Day,' the event is held annually in March and is positioned as a sports event symbolizing the friendship between Shizuoka Prefecture—highly compatible with the color 'green' due to its tea and melons—and Ireland. The tournament aims to improve competitive levels and promote women's sports and regional vitality through the high-speed and tactical play of 7s rugby, marking its 6th edition this year.
While usually held in March, this year's tournament was moved to April and changed its venue to Tsumagoi Resort due to renovations and Asian Games preparations at the usual Ecopa Stadium.
