Ferrymans Irish Tavern is ready for a massive Rugby Season packed with Springbok action

Rugby season has arrived, and Ferrymans Irish Tavern is once again preparing to become one of Cape Town’s go-to destinations for match-day viewing.

For rugby fans, the formula is simple: big fixtures, big screens, cold drinks, and a crowd that understands exactly when to cheer, groan, celebrate, and debate every referee decision.

Ferrymans delivers all of it in a lively Irish tavern setting that has become a favourite gathering place for sports supporters.

• The upcoming rugby calendar is packed with blockbuster encounters. Supporters can catch the Springboks taking on the Barbarians on 20 June before a trio of July clashes against England, Scotland, and Wales. August then turns the excitement up another level with the DHL Stormers facing the All Blacks, the Sharks taking on New Zealand’s touring side, and two highly anticipated Springbok Tests against the All Blacks.

Whether guests are backing the green and gold, cheering for provincial pride, or simply looking for an excuse to enjoy an afternoon with friends, Ferrymans provides the kind of atmosphere that makes every tackle feel bigger and every try worth celebrating.

Pair the action with an ice-cold pint, classic pub favourites from the kitchen, and the unmistakable buzz that comes from watching rugby alongside fellow fans, and it becomes clear why match days at Ferrymans are about far more than what happens on the field.
