“I am absolutely convinced that sport and education go together. Especially rugby, which, with its collective and individual values, helps children grow.”— The late François Roche-Bayard, Rugby Heritage Cup Founder
Toowoomba, Queensland
Nestled on the crest of the Great Dividing Range, Toowoomba is known as the Garden City of Queensland. Just 90 minutes from Brisbane, it blends the warmth of a regional hub with the facilities of a modern city. With more than 150 parks and gardens — including the world-famous Carnival of Flowers — Toowoomba offers a beautiful setting for international visitors.
As the gateway to the Darling Downs, Toowoomba has a proud heritage in education, agriculture and sport. The city is easily accessible via Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport and Brisbane International Airport, making it an ideal location for welcoming teams from across Australia and the world.
Toowoomba Grammar School
Founded in 1875, Toowoomba Grammar School is one of Queensland’s oldest and most respected independent boys’ schools. For over 150 years, TGS has been dedicated to educating young men of character, purpose and service.
The School has a long and proud rugby tradition, competing in Queensland’s GPS competition and producing many players who have gone on to represent Queensland, Australia and international teams. Rugby is woven into the School’s identity, with matches played on the iconic Old Boys’ Memorial Oval, which will serve as a centrepiece venue for the Rugby Heritage Cup 2027.
TGS is also one of Australia’s largest boarding schools, with over 300 boarders from across regional and rural communities. This strong boarding culture creates a welcoming, family atmosphere — one that will extend to every team, visitor and supporter arriving for the Rugby Heritage Cup.
