The Trinidad and Tobago (TT) men’s rugby team is set to compete in the 2025 Rugby Americas North (RAN) Sevens tournament, scheduled to take place at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Malabar from November 21 to 23. The 12-member squad includes nine players from last year’s team, which reached the final before falling to Canada. Notable returning players include Nigel Ballington, Shakeel Dyte, Keston Earle, Agboola Silverthorn, Keishon Walker, and dead-ball specialist Ruari O’Farrell. The tournament will feature teams from Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico, and defending champions Canada. The TT team will be led by coach Jonathan O’Connor and managed by Chad Simeon. The men’s tier one knockout matches will begin on November 22, with the final set for November 23. The women’s category will see TT compete against Barbados, Bermuda, Guyana, Jamaica, and reigning champions Mexico. The top three men’s teams (excluding Canada) and the top two women’s teams will qualify for the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games in the Dominican Republic. Additionally, the men’s tier two winner, if a full member union of RAN, will earn a promotion opportunity.
