Rugby Travel Insurance for Players Training & Competing Abroad
If rugby is the main reason for your trip, standard travel insurance may not cover you. Our rugby travel insurance is designed specifically for individual players travelling abroad to train or compete, providing specialist sports cover while you play.
Whether you are heading overseas for a training camp, pre-season tour or rugby tournament, this policy offers protection for rugby-related injuries, essential kit and unexpected trip disruption, so you can focus on the game, not the small print.
What Rugby activities are covered?
Our rugby travel insurance is designed for individual players travelling abroad specifically to train or compete, with cover applying when rugby is the main purpose of your trip rather than an incidental activity.
This includes overseas training camps and rugby academies, pre-season trips, amateur and semi-professional tournaments, friendly and competitive matches, and structured coaching sessions. Warm-ups, conditioning and rugby-specific training are also covered, provided the activity is appropriate for your experience or ability level.
Ask yourself two questions about your current travel insurance –
Does it cover me if the primary purpose of my trip is to play rugby?
e.g. pre-season rugby tour
Does my travel insurance cover me for overseas rugby festivals?
e.g. Gibraltar 7s
Rugby travel insurance vs standard travel insurance
Most standard travel insurance policies are not designed for rugby players. If rugby is the main purpose of your trip, it is often excluded entirely or only covered in very limited circumstances.
Our rugby travel insurance is different. It is built specifically for players travelling abroad to train or compete, providing cover that reflects the physical nature of rugby and the realities of playing overseas.
With rugby travel insurance, you benefit from cover that applies when rugby is the primary reason for your trip, including medical treatment for rugby-related injuries, protection for essential kit, and trip cancellation or curtailment if injury or illness prevents you from playing.
What’s included in your rugby travel insurance:
Depending on the level of cover you choose, benefits may include:
- Medical and emergency treatment for rugby-related injuries abroad
- Emergency evacuation and repatriation if required
- Cover for essential rugby kit and equipment
- Trip cancellation or curtailment due to injury or illness
- Personal liability cover
- 24/7 emergency assistance while overseas
All cover is subject to policy terms, conditions and limits.
Annual or Short Term
A Travel lots, pay less
Committing to an annual policy can often work out better value than buying cover for each trip, while still keeping you protected for every weekend football camp or week-long holiday abroad.
Plus, our policies can cover multiple sports, so you could be set for your summer ruby tour and still have cover ready for your winter skiing trip; no last-minute insurance scramble required.
B No commitment
Not travelling all the time, or not ready to sign up for a full year? No worries. Our short-term, single-trip policies might cost a little more per trip, but they give you all the flexibility you need and the same handy suite of covers as our annual travellers.
Discounts
Heading off with your other half or the whole gang? We think that should be fun, not a headache for your wallet. That’s why couples get a break on the second traveller. One policy covers you both, and let’s be honest, one set of claims is usually enough drama for anyone.
Families get an even sweeter deal. Extra kids are added at a lower rate, so a family of four ends up paying just a little more than two adults. Single parents, don’t worry, the same clever scaling applies. Basically, we won’t charge you double just because there are more of you.
It all makes sense: more people on one policy doesn’t mean double the risk, and it certainly doesn’t mean double the paperwork. So grab your crew, pack your bags, and enjoy the trip. We’ve got the cover sorted at a fair price, no fuss, no nonsense.
