State of Origin — ERA's Biggest Day of the Year

On 30th May 2026, all 8 ERA academies come together at Wasps FC, Acton for the inaugural State of Origin Tournament — the biggest single day in ERA's calendar.

Every squad from every location will battle it out in a full-day knockout competition. One academy. One champion. The ultimate bragging rights.

The format is a festival of rugby — multiple pitches running simultaneously, exciting activities, entertainment, and a final that every ERA player, parent, and coach will want to be at.

"State of Origin is about more than winning. It's about ERA players from across the country coming together, competing at the highest level, and experiencing what it feels like to represent your academy. This is what the programme is building towards."

— Nash Cohen, Founder & Director of Rugby

More details on the format, age groups, and logistics will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Save the date: 30th May 2026, Wasps FC, Acton.
