Rugby Americas North (RAN) is excited to announce 10 interregional test matches, kicking off this Saturday with Guyana (#70) hosting Bermuda (#74) in the Men’s Tier 2 competition. The spring to early summer window has continued to grow in both quality and quantity of matches for RAN Member Unions the past few years, with 2026 offering a new competition cycle for the Men’s Tier structure.
With three Tiers, the Men’s XVs promotion-relegation model offers the chance for development to be rewarded with cross-tier match ups periodically, while also working to ensure balanced match ups.
2025 Men’s Tier 1 RAN Champions, México (#38), return home fresh off splitting their two-match tour to Europe against Czechia (#29) and Croatia (#56) to face Trinidad & Tobago (#49) in a rematch of last year’s Final on June 6. The Men’s Tier 2 is this year’s largest bracket featuring four countries competing in group stage play. Cayman Islands (#48) won both of their contests in 2025, making them the team to beat. Tier 3 is made up of Bahamas (#96), Jamaica (#61), St Lucia (#94), and St. Vincent & the Grenadines (#81). The winners of Jamaica versus St Lucia and St. Vincent & the Grenadines versus Bahamas will advance to the Tier 3 Final.
On the women’s side of the competition, Jamaica (#39), Mexico (#34), and Trinidad & Tobago (#32) all won one of their 2025 matches in their round robin competition – making 2026 full of opportunity for each team to chase positive movements in the World Rugby rankings table.
All matches will be streamed live on Rugby Americas North’s YouTube channel. Stay tuned to RAN's social channels and website for scores and match photos.
