Specification

The Army Navy Match is the annual rugby union match played between the senior XV teams of the Royal Navy and British Army.

It marks the culmination of the annual Inter-Services Competition. Although a match was played between the officers of the British Army and the officers of the Royal Navy at Kennington Oval, London on 13th February 1878, it was not until 1909 that the Army Navy Match became an annual fixture, when it was jointly administered by the newly formed Royal Navy Rugby Union (RNRU - 1905) and the Army Rugby Union (ARU - 1906).

Since then it has been played every year, with the exception of during the world wars (1914-1919 and 1940-45) when the games were suspended.
