About Rugby in Copenhagen

One club plays rugby in Copenhagen: CSR-Nanok Rugby.

CSR-Nanok Rugby trains at Arsenalvej 2, Holmen, 1436 København K on Tuesdays. Teams include CSR Nanok Women's Rugby Team and CSR Nanok Men's Rugby Team. CSR-Nanok (Christianshavns Skoles Rugbyklub – Nanok) is a rugby club based in the Holmen/Christianshavn district in the heart of Copenhagen.

Copenhagen here covers the city and the Capital Region, so the address may be in Gentofte, Hvidovre, Amager or Brønshøj rather than the centre.

Rugby is played outdoors spring and autumn, with fitness and touch sessions through the winter.

A first rugby session is almost always non-contact: handling, passing backwards, and running lines. Contact is introduced later and only when you want it. Clubs are careful about this, partly because they would rather keep you than impress you.

Danish sport is organised in foreninger — member-run clubs rather than commercial gyms. You pay a kontingent, usually once or twice a year, and that membership is what gives you training, coaching and a place in the club. A prøvetræning — a trial session — comes first, and it costs nothing.

Training times and free trial sessions

The first session is always free, and you do not need to speak Danish or have played before.

Good to know

Do I need to speak Danish?

No. You book in English, your confirmation email is in English, and every club listed here has signed up to a platform whose whole purpose is welcoming people who are new to Denmark. Training itself may still be in Danish — say that you are new and people 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.

Which areas does this page cover?

Copenhagen here means Copenhagen and the Capital Region: the clubs listed on this page train in the city itself and in Gentofte, Hvidovre, Amager and Brønshøj. If you live anywhere along an S-train line, one of them is probably closer than it looks on a map.
