Manage every side of a rugby club
Every decision a real chairman makes is yours, and each one has a knock-on effect somewhere else in the club.
Matchday
Set ticket, pint and pie prices for each home game. Price too high and the stands empty; too low and the money runs dry.
The stadium
Start with a single stand and build up, stand by stand, as crowds and finances allow.
The squad
Sign, sell, loan and renew players under the salary cap. Compare targets against your current players before you bid.
The money
Sponsors, running costs, wages and the bank. The club accounts show every pound in and out.
The people
A Director of Rugby with opinions, a board that sets challenges, the press after big results and investors who may bid for the club.


A management game that keeps you coming back
Short-term board challenges reward you with cash, fan letters react to your results, and every season ends with promotion, relegation or a trophy. Climb into Europe, set records on the leaderboards and, eventually, take charge of the national Union.


Men’s and women’s rugby
Play the men’s game or the women’s game, each with its own clubs and players, all fictional.

Quick answers
What is a rugby management game?
A game where you make the decisions behind a rugby club rather than playing the matches yourself. In Rugby Chairman you run the club as chairman while matches play out live.
Is Rugby Chairman free?
Yes, completely free in your browser, with no download and no sign-up.
How long does a season take?
A league season is 22 weeks. With instant results it can take twenty minutes; watching every match takes a few evenings.
Can someone buy my club?
Yes. Investors make takeover bids from time to time. Selling brings in money, but the new owners set targets.
Are the clubs real?
No. All clubs, players and sponsors are fictional, except sponsors marked “real brand”.
