OVERSEAS TEAMS

Overseas Teams Touring in Australia Please contact your National Union on their procedures regarding applying for PERMISSION TO TOUR!

To gain approval from the Australian Rugby Union for Permission to Tour Australia, your club /team/school will be required to submit the following documentation to the Australian Rugby Union (either via your National Union or directly to the ARU):

1. Written approval for Permission to Tour via your National Union (this must be on official National Union letterhead)

2. A complete Tour Itinerary outlining ALL MATCHES TO BE PLAYED (including age grade of touring team (eg: U12's), opposition team/s, dates, and venues.) Only upon receipt of the documents as outlined above will the ARU contact the relevant State Union(s) within Australia for their approval. If the State Union(s) have no objections, the ARU will sanction approval for Permission to Tour and send confirmation (in writing) to your National Union (and the club/team/school if submitted directly to the ARU).

Please do not leave this to the last minute, as the process will take some time. Note: If approval to tour is not received prior to the arrival in host country, the National Union may not sanction games to be played in their union.
