Regulations for 2022/2023 are now in effect.

All RFU regulations for the 2022-23 season are effective, as of 1 August 2022. They are available at the following link.

In addition to changes already communicated about Age Grade Rugby and the men’s Future Competitions Structure, the other fundamental change is that RFU Regulation 13 (Adult Men’s Leagues) and RFU Regulation 16 (Adult Women’s Leagues) have now been merged into one new regulation, namely RFU Regulation 6 (Adult Competitions). Also, there has been an update to RFU Regulation 9 (Player Safety) which we would encourage clubs to read through as it now contains the new guidance for pitchside care at age grade.

For any questions on the regulations, don’t hesitate to get in touch with regulations@rfu.com.
