Find your rugby team in Denmark
Danish rugby is small enough that every player is noticed and looked after, and English is spoken on most pitches. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.
2 clubs play rugby in Denmark, with 18 upcoming trial sessions: CSR-Nanok Rugby and Rugby Club Odense.
More than a training session
Rugby is built on the team, and Danish rugby is small enough that a new player is noticed and looked after. English is spoken on most pitches, and the clubs are used to players arriving from countries where rugby is an ordinary part of life.
Danish clubs are foreninger — run by their members, not by a company. You are not a customer; you are part of the club. Clubs run men's, women's and mixed touch sides depending on the season; rugby is played outdoors in spring and autumn, with fitness and touch sessions through the winter.
The clubs on this page play in Copenhagen and Odense. A first session is almost always non-contact — handling, passing backwards and running lines — and contact comes later, only when you want it. Book your free session and come along once.

Good to know
Do I need to speak Danish?
No. You book in English, and your confirmation email is in English too. Training itself may be in Danish — just ask, and people usually switch.
Is the first session really free?
Yes. A trial session booked here costs nothing. You are not signing up for a membership by booking one, and nobody asks for card details.
What should I bring?
Sportswear, boots if you have them and trainers if you do not, and a mouthguard for contact sessions. A first session is usually non-contact.
What happens after I book?
You get a confirmation email, and the club is told that you are coming. If you need to change the date or cancel, the email has a link for both.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. You can add one guest when you book, and they get their own invitation by email.
How does membership work in a Danish club?
Danish clubs are foreninger — member-run associations, not commercial gyms. After the free trial you join by paying a kontingent, usually once or twice a year, and that is what covers training and coaching for the season.
When can I start?
Rugby is played outdoors spring and autumn, with fitness and touch sessions through the winter.
