Who will take home the Legacy Cup TODAY?! It all comes down to this. The final clash. The ultimate prize. And what a prize it is 👀👇 Created by Colorado based landscape designer and former women’s rugby player Amy Root (@boardandwired), the Legacy Cup trophy is more than just metal, it’s a monument to the game’s past, present, and future. 🔥 In its second edition, the trophy builds on the original’s unfinished rugby ball form, evolving into a more complete and tightly layered structure just like the growing strength and unity of the women’s game. ⚙️ Curved steel blades, interwoven and riveted, symbolize resilience through connection, a tribute to generations of women who have built this sport together. 💥 Raw steel. Exposed welds. Brutalist beauty. This trophy does not just sit pretty it embodies the grit, toughness, and heart of rugby. It all comes down to today Denver Onyx vs New York Exiles 🏆 📸 @melpazphotos34 #rugby #womenssports #legacycup #trophy
