There are a number of opportunities for Women to get involved with playing Rugby.

Junior Rugby is a game for all -  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, can 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. State Rugby Unions can provide contact details for Womens Teams in your area. There may be the option for talented younger players to train/play with Womens Team earlier than this, as part of the Senior Rugby Policy.

         Please contact your local Rugby Union to discuss options.

'In highschool I was into Touch Football but I needed something more & my father played rugby for Fiji back in the day so I thought I'd give it a go. At 16 I was too young to play in the womens competition so I trained with the Womens team at my local club for 2 years until I was old enough to play & I haven't looked back since.'
