BEACH RUGBY TOURNAMENT

Since 2019, Warnemünde has been a summer magnet for rugby players from all over Germany. At the only beach rugby tournament on Germany's Baltic Sea coast, 12 men's and six women's teams thrill spectators with their powerful physical effort in the battle for the ball. This makes the Warnemünde Beach Arena a real draw on the second weekend of WARNEMÜNDER WOCHE.

The fight for the crown in German beach rugby

On July 11, 2026, the battle for the German beach rugby crown will once again take place on Warnemünde beach. The closing weekend of the 88th Warnemünde Week will feature another sporting highlight at the Warnemünde Beach Arena, in addition to sailing. Since 2019, the only beach rugby tournament on the German Baltic Sea coast has been held there in cooperation with the Rostock & Warnemünde Tourist Board.

Men's and women's teams will scour the fine sandy beach below the lighthouse and the "Teepott" in search of the "Rugby Egg" and will thrill the spectators in the large stands with hard-hitting tackles and fast-paced moves. 

The team at the "Wal-Strandbar" right next to the Warnemünde Beach Arena will provide the catering. A varied program of events is also available along the promenade, making a visit to WARNEMÜNDER WOCHE definitely worthwhile.
