Corporate Vision & Objectives

Rugby in Queensland is enjoying an exciting period of growth and development.

There are now some 50,000 players throughout Queensland, including 8,300 seniors, 21,500 regular school players and over 14,000 junior club players.

There are 218 clubs throughout the state and more than 235 Queensland schools - many of which are non-traditional rugby schools - have adopted rugby as a sport. And this number is growing each year.

For many, rugby is a way of life. It's that sort of game: it gets into your blood. The spirit of rugby is exemplified by the 8,000 or so volunteers who tirelessly work week-in week-out, or by the supporters who faithfully follow the fortunes of their club or team, whether at grassroots or elite level.

Organisationally, Queensland Rugby has a strong administrative base focused on the continued progression of the code via sound strategic planning and business principles, and an unwavering commitment to significant reinvestment at all levels of the code throughout Queensland.

In 2007 Queensland Rugby invested some $2.75m in Community Rugby (including $2.4m in ARU grant funding) and provided over $130,000 in complimentary Reds match tickets to schools and clubs.

Rugby is a truly international sport built on the ethos of community spirit, camaraderie, discipline, heritage and equality.

The values promoted through rugby participation, both on and off the field, instil a code of behaviour that can be translated into all aspects of life.

Our aim is to provide the best rugby experience for all participants at all levels of the game.
