Rugby

Rugby has not received the same level of investment and promotion as other major sports, which has hindered its growth and development in many regions. Rugby is a relatively niche sport compared to more popular sports like soccer, Basketball, and American football. Experienced players earn more than their younger teammates, with those who played over 100 games in the Premiership averaging £205,000. Rugby players with over 50 international caps under their belts can average around £325,306 a year.

As of May 4, 2023, the average annual pay for an US+rugby in the United States is $64,213 yearly. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $30.87 an hour. This is the equivalent of $1,234/week or $5,351/month. Sponsorship deals, NILs, and other avenues to maximize earnings for our Rugby athletes are crucial, and our job at CESG is to deliver on this promise, so our athletes can keep their focus on playing the game.
