The Bingham Cup, initiated in 2002 in memory of 9/11 hero Mark Bingham, celebrates his legacy as a gay rugby player. Mark, who played for San Francisco Fog and helped found Gotham Knights, tragically lost his life on United Flight 93. His actions, along with others on board, prevented further tragedy. The tournament challenges LGBTQIA+ stereotypes and promotes inclusivity. Growing from its debut, the 2018 edition in Amsterdam hosted 74 teams from 20 countries, making it the world's largest amateur rugby union tournament.

The 2024 event will take place in Rome in multiple venues, some of which are yet to be confirmed. Check the official website for more details.
