CAMP HANSEN, Okinawa, Japan – U.S. Marines, more than anyone else, understand how sweat, hard work and competition often forge strong bonds and lasting friendships. On November 15, 2025, rugby teams from across Okinawa exemplified this spirit when the Camp Hansen Rugby Club hosted the Turkey Bowl rugby tournament in Yomitan, Okinawa, Japan.
Rugby clubs from the Okinawa Armed Forces Rugby Union and the Ryukyu University School of Medicine rugby club all competed in the tournament, connecting service members, U.S. civilians, and Okinawans through the spirit of competition.
