The national Safe Play Code is applied to players in Rugby League Teams aged 15 years and under. The Code was developed to emphasise safety and good conduct within the game of Rugby League by creating the best possible on-field environment and actively controlling undesirable actions.

The NZRL trusts that players, coaches’ parents and spectators will wholeheartedly embrace the Code for the benefit of the players and the game of Rugby League.

Match Officials together with Coaches, are key to the successful application of the Safe Play Code.
