DEACONS DUEL 7s

About

Now in its third year, the Deacon’s Duel 7s Rugby Tournament has become one of Wake Forest University’s signature rugby events. What started as a small idea has grown into a competitive, community-driven tournament that brings together programs from across the region.

Our goal is simple: provide a well-run, athlete-focused rugby experience that teams are excited to return to each year. With quality fields, reliable facilities, and a welcoming environment, the Deacon’s Duel continues to build a tradition of strong competition and great sportsmanship.

We’re excited to host you for another outstanding day of rugby on February 14, 2026.

Welcome to the Deacon’s Duel.
