INTERNATIONAL CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT
Applicable to Players and Clubs
- International clearance is a World Rugby requirement: a player or team is not eligible to play rugby in another country at any level until they have a valid international clearance from their home governing rugby Union. The clearance confirms that the player/team has no outstanding financial or disciplinary issues with their home rugby Union, club, or competitions.
- Clubs and players traveling from a foreign country (even for exhibition matches) to the United States should expect to be asked for their letters of approval from their home union. It is up to the visiting club or player to obtain the international clearance from their home national rugby Union.
- If your club is hosting a tour or player, you must see a copy of the tour and/or player approval from the visiting Union and USA Rugby. Both governing bodies must have approved.
- This applies to all players and teams: male and female, senior and junior, amateur and professional. There are no exceptions. USA Rugby does not have discretion to allow players to play without a clearance. It is the player’s responsibility to ensure they have an international clearance before they play.
