Bath Rugby Foundation launches Historic Shirt Auction: Own a piece of Bath Rugby history

Bath Rugby Foundation is excited to announce the launch of a unique auction, giving fans the chance to own a piece of Bath Rugby history. Starting on Saturday, 31st August, supporters will have the opportunity to bid on the yellow away shirts prepared for the Premiership Final against Northampton Saints at Twickenham. This initiative, organised in partnership with Match Worn Shirt, aims to raise vital funds for the Foundation.

The auction, which coincides with Bath Rugby’s first friendly match of the season, will feature the shirts prepared to be worn by the players during the historic final. These shirts hold significant sentimental value, particularly as some of the players have since left the club, making this a rare opportunity for collectors and fans alike.

Why You Should Bid:

Exclusive Memorabilia: Each shirt is in pristine condition, and is uniquely tailored to the player, featuring their specific size and match-quality standards. The shirts include detailed embroidery and all official match information.

Support a Great Cause: All proceeds from the auction will go directly to Bath Rugby Foundation, supporting their work in the community.

Own a Piece of History: These shirts represent more than just a piece of sportswear; they are a symbol of Bath Rugby’s journey to the Twickenham final, a moment etched in the hearts of all supporters.

The auction will run from 31st August to 6th September, with multiple opportunities for fans to engage. Fans are encouraged to follow along and participate in the auction, as well as share their favourite Bath Rugby memories using the hashtag #BathAtTwickenham.

You can start your bidding from Saturday, 31st August, here: MatchWornShirt

This auction is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of Bath Rugby’s incredible journey to the Premiership Final. Whether you’re a lifelong supporter or a new fan, this is your chance to own a piece of Bath Rugby’s legacy. Place your bids from 31st August and join us in supporting the Bath Rugby Foundation.

Together, we are Bath.

*Although our auction partner is called Match Worn Shirt, these shirts were not match-worn but were instead prepared for the players to wear in the Bath Rugby vs Northampton Saints final at Twickenham, before the decision was made to play in BB&W. These shirts are in pristine condition.
