National Junior Touch Cup

Established 2024, the National Junior Touch Cup (NJTC) is England’s first major Touch competition for emerging and established Junior Touch Clubs.

Delivered in partnership with In 2 Touch Thames Valley, the event is an ideal way for young players to take their first steps into representing their Touch Club in tournament-style Touch.

The National Junior Touch Cup allows young players to participate and compete against their peers at a level below Junior Regional and England Touch junior age grades. This allows players to adopt key roles in teams, execute their skills and most importantly play with their friends.

Our first year saw 20 Junior Touch teams come together from all over England to compete, many playing together for the first time!

As Junior Touch continues to grow, the NJTC provides a competitive focus for Junior Touch Clubs in their season, while also allowing coaches and Regional and National selectors to watch emerging talent.

With U12, U14 and U17 Boys, Girls and Mixed categories, there is something for everyone. The event follows FIT Rules, but referees are encouraged to ‘coach’ within the game, supporting newer players and teams with the rules and game understanding.

The event is held at the impressive Old Leamingtonians RFC, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, with great pitches and facilities. The venue also allows camping for those looking to make a weekend of the event.

The 2025 event will be held on 5th July 2025, with entries opening in early 2025. Please visit www.nationaljuniortouchcup.com for entry details or email paul@in2touch.com
