SportsCover Direct specialises in insurance for active people. Rugby is one of the major sports we cover. We cover individuals and teams! and cover competition as a standard policy benefit. Every year thousands of Rugby players and teams get covered with us for playing in the UK and when they go abroad on a Rugby tour.
The number of Rugby players in the UK is on a steady increase – especially since England’s World Cup success in 2003 - however so is the number of injuries, both minor and serious. Whether it’s the risk to yourself or others that concerns you – you shouldn’t wait until it is too late. Be very aware that Rugby can be a very high risk activity, and the fault for damage or injury might not be yours.
Whilst no-one can prevent Rugby accidents from happening we all have it in our power to reduce the effects when they do. Why not take action now, before an incident occurs?
Whether you are travelling abroad, wanting protection at home or are worried about loss of earnings we can cover you.
We will also cover a very broad range of other sports and leisure activities in addition to Rugby. Our policies are increasingly chosen by Rugby players in the UK and Ireland. Two types of policy are available for individuals, who are UK or Irish residents, to participate as amateurs.
