Rugby Union is a sport for all and the Rugby Football Union (RFU) seeks to promote equal opportunities to ensure that anyone who wishes to play the game should be able to do so without prejudice.
Our Core Values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship lie at the heart of what we do and how we play. As the national governing body for rugby union in England, it is the responsibility of the RFU to regulate the participation of training and playing rugby in England in order to promote the safety and equitable treatment of all taking part.
Harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated and will be dealt with in accordance with RFU Regulations.
The purpose of this Policy is to provide a clear framework to enable transgender and non-binary gender players to participate in rugby.
