Rugby Player Insurance – World Rugby Rules

 

World Rugby 23.1.3 Regulation states “If the Primary Employer of the Player is not a Rugby Body or Club then the Player shall be responsible for having in place the appropriate financial arrangements or insurance to cover the Player whilst participating in the Game at any level and at all times other than when the Player is on International Duty.”

We strongly recommend that all players have some form of medical insurance to cover them for the tournament. Most general travel insurances do not cover playing rugby – make sure you check your policy.

We have negotiated coverage through Alan Sutherland from Thai Expat Club to ensure insurance is available specific to rugby at a good price.

The 3 options that cover medical expenses from sporting injury from 350,000 THB, 700,000 THB to 1.8M THB (Your choice of plan)

This insurance includes.

  • Emergency and outpatient treatment up to ~$50,000 USD (For Plan 2)
  • Coverage for a host of non-professional sports (including rugby, AFL football and soccer) and illnesses
  • Emergency ambulance from the ground or playing area
  • Cover for COVID-19
  • Free choice of hospital in Thailand
  • Coverage does NOT extend to the southern areas of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat

The Premium starts at 1,399 baht* (Minimum 14 days) - depending on your country of departure.

* Plan 2 is recommended as it provides a maximum cover of 1.8M and includes Emergency Medical Evacuation or Repatriation if required to 1M THB.
