The Webb Ellis Cup is coming to Northland | Northland News | Local News in Northland

The Webb Ellis Cup is coming back to Northland during a nationwide tour to say thank you, New Zealand, for supporting rugby.

That famed rugby trophy that was triumphantly held in the air by Ritchie McCaw last year, the Beldisloe Cup and other important rugby silverware will be on show in Northland.

The event, dubbed 'The Great Rugby Road Trip', will also showcase New Zealand rugby's other prized trophies, including the IRB Women's Rugby World Cup, the IRB Junior World Championship Trophy, the Sevens World Series Trophy, the Hillary Shield and the Gallaher Cup.

The family-friendly events have been organised by the New Zealand Rugby Union and its provincial unions - including Northland Rugby Union.

Visitors will be able to have their photo taken with the trophies and also take part in a range of fun activities.

Check out tomorrow's Northern Advocate for times and places to see the silverware.
