The Union Cup is a biennial European, non- professional, gay rugby union tournament, bringing together teams and joint teams from all over Europe. This edition is organized by Straffe Ketten RFC in Brussels, Belgium.

The first edition was held in May 2005 in Montpellier, France, and had seven participating teams. Since then the tournament has been hosted by Copenhagen(2007), London, (2009), Amsterdam (2011) and Bristol (2013).
In 2013 three teams expressed bids for the Union Cup 2015 tournament: Caledonian Thebans from Edinburgh, Straffe Ketten from Brussels and Los Valents from Montpellier. On the 25th of May it was announced in Bristol that Brussels was the chosen city to host the Union Cup 2015.

This will be the first time the Union Cup has been staged in Belgium. Over 20 teams with up to 1.000 players, fans and officials will travel to Brussels in May 2015 for the competition.

The new logo breaths out rugby with its separate fragments forming the shape of the odly shaped rugby ball. A star referring to our common emblem: the European Flag.

Diversity across borders, governments, religions, rivers, cities, forests, mountains,valleys and 
the North Sea. 
All connected by the great sport that is Rugby.
