Am I insured by the tournament?

No, the organisers have no liability whatsoever. We have a professional set-up with doctors and physios at the venue. Minor injuries, cuts and bruises can be treated immediately on site. In case of a serious injury that requires hospital treatment, you need to be insured. This is your own responsibility. You might be insured via your club or union.

To prove that you are insured in your country you must have a “European Health Insurance Card”. The cardholder will be treated in the same way and charged with the same patient fees as an insured person in the country he or she is visiting. You must apply for this card from your local health insurance agency well in advance.

A copy of your identity card will do as well. You will receive the invoice of the hospital at your home address and you can present it to your insurance company after having paid the invoice.

Can I purchase a mouth guard and other rugby gear?

A fully equipped rugby stand will be present to buy all your missing or faulty (protective) rugby gear, from boots to shirts, mouth guards and socks.
