With 100 social rugby teams playing up to 800 games over the weekend, as well as the addition of 40 netball teams, Cape Town Tens is set to be South Africa's biggest social sports event of the year.

The tournament will be celebrating its 6th anniversary this year and has plenty of exciting new features planned. Apart from the rugby and netball action there will be more on offer for the whole family including a revamped kiddies play area with child minders, jumping castles, and magicians as well as specific rugby, netball and cricket clinics tailored for the kids. In addition to this there will be more food options with the new 450m2 Food Lovers' Market tent, a beer tent and live entertainment throughout the day by Tens favourites Me & Mr Brown and DJ Sox who will be keeping energies high throughout the weekend.

Over the course of the weekend 2,000 rugby players will take to the field spread over seven divisions, whilst 400 netball players compete across four divisions. There will also be an opportunity to rub shoulders with various international and South African rugby legends such as John Smit, Butch James, Percy Montgomery, Carlos Spencer, Justin Marshall and of course Tens founders Bob Skinstadt and Robbie Fleck.
