Rugby Team Insurance

SportsCover Direct specialises in insurance for active people. Rugby is one of the major sports we cover. Every year we cover thousands of Rugby players and teams for playing in the UK and when they go abroad on a Rugby tour. Not only do we cover individuals and teams but we also cover competition as a standard policy benefit.

The number of Rugby players in the UK is on a steady increase – especially since England’s World Cup success in 2003. At SportsCover Direct we understand that Rugby can be a very high risk activity, and the fault for damage or injury might not be yours. With this in mind, we have developed our insurance products; whether you are travelling abroad, wanting protection at home or are worried about loss of earnings we can cover you.

SportsCover Direct offer two types of Rugby policy for individuals, who are UK or Irish residents, to participate as amateurs.
