raising standards on the pitch and behind the scenes.

We’re a referee-led movement that supports and elevates community rugby officials, while helping grassroots tournaments deliver safe, well-run and credible events.

– OR –

REffing and Organising.

Two sides of the same game.

Grassroots rugby only works when referees are supported and events are well managed.

Refs On Tour exists at the point where those two needs meet. In doing we strengthen officiating, improve tournament delivery and credibility, which enables the community game thrive.

For Referees.

Support, development and belonging.

Community referees face unique pressures – isolation, inconsistency and lack of recognition. Refs On Tour changes that by offering:

1. A referee-led, peer-supported community

2. Opportunities to officiate at quality grassroots tournaments

3. Mentorship, learning and shared experience

4. Greater visibility and respect for the role

We help referees feel confident, valued and prepared β€” wherever the game takes them.

For Tournaments.

Safe, credible, well-run events.

Well-officiated matches are fundamental to successful tournaments – coordination, consistency and on-the-day control is key. Refs On Tour supports organisers by providing:

1. Referee organisation and assignment across pitches and schedules

2. Referee coaches and advisors for on-site support and development

3. Pitch managers overseeing match flow, logistics and control

4. Consistent, professional officiating standards throughout events

We help tournaments run smoothly, safely and with credibly.
