Rugby - It's in your Blood Become a Referee!

Benefits of becoming a Referee

- Opportunities to Travel
- Keep Fit
- Best seat in the house
- Participation in our great game
- Full M.A.R. Members access to tickets

The Munster Association of Referees is giving you the opportunity to give back to the sport!  Rugby referees enjoy the same benefits of the game as the players - without the injuries!

If keeping fit (referees run six miles in an 80 minute match), travelling, taking part in a lively social scene or getting an adrenaline rush is your idea of a great pastime, rugby refereeing could be for you. As well as the obvious benefits, a referee's constant study of the game enriches their enjoyment of this lifetime sport. There is more need for referees now than ever!
