Become A Referee

If you are interested in joining the Leinster Rugby Referees please continue to the application process page.

Why become a referee?

• Stay with the game as an alternative to playing.
• Social – The social aspect of rugby is renowned. Refereeing is a great way to meet new people and make new friends.
• Fitness – It is a fantastic way to keep fit. The IRFU have the highest level of expertise in this area.
• Travel – The highest level you reach as a referee, the more involvement you will have at European Competitions,  URC and the All Ireland League
• Referees ‘a club within a club’ who meet regularly for meetings. There’s a great team spirit.
• Ambition – could you referee an international match?
• Tickets – Referees are allowed to apply for international and provincial match tickets.
