In 2 Touch believes in a simple philosophy when staging Touch Rugby leagues and events around the world – The Overall Touch Experience.

We aim to achieve positive answers to the following questions - How did you hear about us? Were staff and referees friendly and helpful? Is the website efficient? Were any problems and disputes handled properly? Did you enjoy the social vibe after the game?

In 2 Touch was founded in the summer of 1995 in South Africa when the opportunity to start a small touch rugby league in Johannesburg materialised. Since that date, the In 2 Touch brand has expanded throughout South Africa and today schools, universities and corporate touch rugby events and leagues have become an institution, thanks to the hard-working and talented In 2 Touch Staff.

In 2003, In 2 Touch made the strategic decision to launch its business in the United Kingdom and to date has achieved staggering results in a Country with such potential for the sport of touch rugby.

As the gospel of Rugby, in all its forms, spreads around the world, In 2 Touch aims to be at the threshold of promoting the sport of Touch Rugby. In 2 Touch embraces dynamic and motivated people who would like to start and promote the sport of touch rugby under our banner. We have the necessary infrastructure to support existing leagues and the experience to launch new ones.
