The 2006 GFI Hong Kong Tens was played on Wednesday 29 March and Thursday 30 March 2006, with New Zealand Metro winning the Cup. The Plate was won by PWC Panthers, a team from Australia, while the Bowl was picked up by SCB Asian Cavaliers, a team with members from all round the World. Acorns Rugby Club, from Japan, picked up the Shield.
The SCB Asian Cavaliers were coached by James Clark (Australian living in Hong Kong) ) and James Cook (New Zealander) also living in Hong Kong. The two expat coaches' first game was against a team full of ex All Blacks including the one and only Jonah Lomu. It was one his last tournaments before his passing in 2015 from Myocardial infarction.
The 2 days of rugby provide the lead up to the Hong Kong 7's tournament and is regarded as the best 10's tournament in the world.
Tens rugby is a variation on rugby union and rugby sevens, with teams having 10 players: 5 forwards and 5 backs. 10 minute halves are played.
The 2006 Tournament was played at Hong Kong Football Club, Happy Valley, Hong Kong.
