1872 Cup countdown: Two months to go!

27 Oct 2025

The countdown is officially on! With exactly two months left until the club's biggest fixture of the season, we're calling on every single supporter to mark their calendars for the 1872 Cup decider against Glasgow Warriors at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday 27 December!

This is your chance to pack out the national stadium as we look to reclaim the 1872 Cup from our rivals in the West.

This fixture is more than just a match; it’s a celebration of rugby and a massive opportunity for the entire city to unite as one to get behind the capital club.

Last December, you helped create history as over 40,000 fans packed into Scottish Gas Murrayfield, setting a new club-record attendance.

The atmosphere was electric, and we want to go even bigger and louder this time around.

The 1872 Cup clash is the perfect post-Christmas outing. Gather your family, your friends, your teammates, or clubmates for a fantastic catch-up and a huge day of rugby in the capital. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a first-timer, this is an occasion not to be missed.

Adding to the excitement, the day is set to be a spectacular double-header of intercity action!

The Edinburgh Rugby women’s team will take on the Glasgow Warriors women’s team at Hive Stadium earlier in the day (kick-off 12 noon). Details on tickets for the women’s fixture will be announced very soon, making this a complete festival of rugby rivalry.

Don’t delay – secure your seats now and be part of December’s 1872 Cup: Rugby’s Oldest Derby! Let’s make this the biggest and best one yet.
