South Coast Rugby Union will host the competition for men's teams, kicking off at 1.45pm on Saturday, October 24.
South Coast Rugby Union president Peter Ryan said the day was planned to allow old clubs on the coast an opportunity to re-form and compete on a regular weekly basis in the future.
He said South Coast Rugby has worked with Brumbies development staff to get the event going to gauge interest.
"Already, Bermagui-Cobargo Sharks and Vincentia Van Goughs have re-formed and trained with good numbers to nominate teams," Ryan said.
"Interest has also been shown from Bega, Narooma and Milton to get teams back on the paddock after a number of years in hibernation."
Established clubs of Batemans Bay, Broulee and Bungendore will compete in the event plus an under-16 girls team will play on the day.
Games will commence at 1.45pm at Hanging Rock Ovals, Batemans Bay, using two fields with all teams playing two games each.
"Every game will be fast and furious with two 15 minute halves played and no kicks at goal," Ryan said.
Ryan said strict COVID procedures will be in place for all games and for organisers to conduct a canteen.
