Brisbane Global 10s is a newly created rugby tens tournament created by Queensland Rugby Union and Duco Events, which will be held annually in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium, launching on 11 February 2017.[1][2] 14 teams will participate for a grand prize of $250,000 AUD over two days, first playing in group stages before entering finals.[1]
The 5 Australian and 5 New Zealand Super Rugby teams will participate in the competition annually, with four other teams from around the world to be invited each year.[1] For the 2017 tournament, RC Toulonnais, Blue Bulls, Manu Samoa, and the Panasonic Wild Knights will compete.[1]
The tournament is promoted as having the 'biggest rugby stars' playing, with 300-400 players from around the world attending the event.[1][3] Each team is also allocated a 'Legend Wildcard', allowing each team to select a former player to join the additional match day squad.[4]
It is hoped that the tournament will provide a small economic boost to Queensland through tourism and consumer spending.[5]
