- You are registering with the same club as last season
- You haven’t played rugby outside Wales recently (if you have, request international clearance)

What happens if I accidentally create a second MyWRU for me or my child?

Don’t worry - it happens.

If you’ve created a new account by mistake instead of logging into your existing one:

- Submit your registration normally
- We’ll manually merge duplicate accounts in the background

Please allow extra time for processing during peak registration periods.


I see “Not eligible” when selecting a Club – what does that mean?

If you’re seeing a “Not eligible to register” message, it usually means your club hasn’t yet activated its teams for the season.

✅ What to do:

- Contact your club secretary and ask them to activate your team
- If they need help, they can contact us at: digitalanddata@wru.wales

Once the team is activated, you’ll be able to register successfully.

I’ve played rugby outside of Wales – what now?

If you’ve played rugby outside of Wales since your last registration or in the past season, you’ll need to complete an International Clearance Form before registering.

📧 Email registrations@wru.wales and request the clearance form.

Once clearance is approved, you can proceed with registration as normal through MyWRU.

🛑 If you try to register without clearance, your registration will be declined.

If you have already registered and are seeing "Awaiting approval by WRU"


Please do not contact us if your application status is “Awaiting approval by WRU.”

We are currently experiencing a high volume of enquiries and registrations and are working through them as quickly as possible.

Rest assured, you or your child will be registered well in advance of the season beginning.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
