Final day at the 2014 Bingham Cup

Rugby players warm up for the 2014 Bingham Cup

The three day Bingham Cup ended with a lop-sided victory by the Sydney Convicts over the Brisbane Hustlers 31-0.

With 24 teams from 15 countries, this was the first time since 2002 the biennial event was held in the southern hemisphere.

The competition came a week after the Australian Rugby Union announced news of an inclusion policy to combat homophobia in the sport.

Did someone say "Rugby?"

The Bingham Cup is held every two years, inviting rugby players from all over the world - regardless of their sexual orientation - to come enjoy the sport they love without fear of judgement or discrimination.

Called the "World Cup of Gay Rugby," the event is named after Mark Bingham who died standing up to terrorists on Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. Bingham was a sports enthusiast who played rugby for the San Francisco Fog.

Thirty rugby teams from 15 countries will take part in this year's event, which runs through August 31.
