Rugby is a full-contact team sport played with an oval ball, involving tackling, running, passing and set-piece play. It is physically demanding and places significant strain on the body, particularly through collisions, scrums and rapid changes of direction. While rugby is played professionally worldwide, many travellers take part at an amateur level while abroad.
ActivitySure can cover rugby when you are taking part overseas at an amateur level. This includes both participation in an amateur rugby match and taking part in organised rugby training sessions. Training may involve drills, conditioning and controlled contact, while matches typically involve full gameplay and tackling. Both forms of participation carry an increased risk of injury, which is why having appropriate travel insurance in place is important before you step onto the pitch.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to travel for rugby?
Rugby has strong roots in countries such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand and South Africa, where local clubs and community teams are widespread and visiting players may join training sessions or friendly fixtures. The sport is also popular across parts of Europe, Australia and South America, with many destinations offering amateur club rugby, touring sides and organised training opportunities for travelling players.
Some travellers take part as part of rugby tours or club exchanges, while others join short-term training sessions during a trip abroad.
Here's why rugby travel insurance matters:
Rugby involves tackling, physical contact and high-impact collisions, which increase the likelihood of injuries such as sprains, fractures, dislocations and head injuries. These risks apply during both matches and training, particularly when playing on unfamiliar pitches or with players you do not usually train with.
Helpful travel tips
- Warm up thoroughly before matches or training sessions to prepare muscles and joints.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a mouthguard and any recommended protective gearBe mindful of pitch conditions, particularly on wet, hard or uneven ground.
- Pace yourself during training sessions to reduce the risk of fatigue-related injuries.
- Always follow instructions and safety guidance provided by coaches, referees or organisers
