There are a number of opportunities for women to get involved with playing Rugby. The level of play is dependent on age.
Girls up to 12 years of age can play junior club Rugby and participate in mixed gender modified competitions.
Teenage girls between the ages of 13 and 18, participate in school-based Rugby competitions. If you are in this age group and wanting to play rugby, encourage your school to get involved with a competition. EdRugby can provide resources for Schools to run their own Walla Rugby Challenge.
From 18 years, Women can play Club and Representative Rugby. There may be the option for talented younger players to train/play with Womens Team earlier than this, as part of the Senior Rugby/Two Year Window Policy. Please contact your local Rugby Union to discuss options.
Representative Opportunities
Note: Players must be 18 years old to take part in these representative teams.
