Refereeing - the best seat in the house

Welcome to the Townsville District Rugby Union Referees Association (TDRURA) website.

The TDRURA is responsible for the provision of referees for rugby union matches in Townsville and surrounding Districts, including Charters Towers, Burdekin and Ingham.

As participation in Rugby across the Townsville district continues to grow, so too does the need for qualified referees, assistant referees and referee coaches.

Each week, each season, referees and match officials play a vital role in Rugby and without them, games simply wouldn't go ahead.

In addition to offering a unique way to get involved in the game you love, refereeing is a great way to keep fit, develop new skills, make new friends and experience the teamwork and camarderie of the international community of Rugby referees.  You can become a vital part of the action (check the video).

You are never to young or old to get involved so, whether you're a player, an ex-player, a coach, a student, a parent or a rugby fan, there is a level of refereeing for you. 

So why not register your interest in refereeing Rugby Union in the 2011 season by emailing the association at rugby_refs_townsville@yahoo.com.au <click here for email>
