AAGPS (NSW) Rugby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an annual rugby union competition played by teams from Sydney, Australia based boys high schools who are members of the AAGPS.
The official GPS rugby union competition commenced in 1892. In 2009, after 103 years playing in the 1st XV competition, Sydney Boys High School withdrew itself from AAGPS Rugby. After a two-year absence they returned in 2011, with their 1st XV competing in the 2nd XV competition. In 2012 the Armidale School's 1st XV was admitted into the 2nd XV competition while High were placed in the inaugural 3rd XV competition. Sydney Grammar School decided not to participate in the 2013 1st XV competition reducing the number of schools competing in the 1st XV to six.
The current format across the 1st XV and 2nd XV competitions include Newington College, Shore School, St Ignatius' College, St Joseph's College, The King's School and The Scots College. The 3rd XVs of all these schools joined the 1st XVs of Armidale, Grammar and High in a nine-team 3rd XV competition. With the 1st XV and 2nd XV only having six teams, the current competition format follows a double round-robin format with 10 rounds.
