Since 2018 the Berlin Irish host an annual Beach Rugby tournament with a men's/mixed and women's competition at BeachMitte with teams visiting from all over Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom. After two events there was a two-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic but the tournament resumed in 2022. [7]
