EBRA (European Beach Rugby Association)

North Sea Beach Rugby is an official member of EBRA - EUROPEAN BEACH RUGBY ASSOCIATION . EBRA is the international governing body for Beach Fives Rugby and organizes, among other things, the spectacular European Beach Fives Rugby circuit. There will be tournaments in Italy (Lignano), England (Bournemouth), Portugal (Figueira), Spain (Barcelona),  France (Marseille) , Porto (Portugal) and obviously, the Netherlands (The Hague/Scheveningen) organised by North Sea Beach Rugby.

There are also tournaments that participate for the first time but have not yet been recognized as an EBRA member (aspiring member).

The mission of the EBRA and its members is to work together to promote Beach Fives Rugby in Europe. The EUROPEAN BEACH RUGBY ASSOCIASTION encourages international cooperation between its members and to thus develop Beach Fives Rugby in a coordinated and coherent manner.

The European Beach Rugby Association is based in Marseilles. The Board consists of among others Lionel Laugier (Chairman), Kasper Bleijenberg (vice-president and organisator North Sea Beach Rugby) and Giancarlo Stocco (secretary).
