Please take a moment to read the following important information regarding the upcoming Springfield Brumbies Summer Season.
โ๏ธ NEW SUMMER/WINTER SEASON STRUCTURE
IBA is moving to a new Summer/Winter competition structure. The Summer Season will officially run from October 2026 through to March 2027.
