Rugby guides and tools

New to rugby scoring? Start with how rugby scoring works, which adds up a whole union match score by score. If you follow both codes, rugby league vs union scoring sets the point values side by side, sevens included, and plays one match under both codes to a different winner.

For league tables, the bonus point system shows how results become table points and where competitions differ. How long a rugby match lasts covers halves, half-time, sevens, under-19s and extra time. The rugby points calculator adds up any score, or lists every way to reach one.

Every law here is checked against World Rugby's Laws of the Game and the International Rugby League laws. Competition rules such as bonus points and extra time differ from one competition to the next, so each page names the competitions it covers and lists its sources. The worked examples use the same point values as the Union and League settings in the rugby score tracker app.
