Questions before you register or transfer a .RUGBY?
Practical answers about registry status, rugby uses, affiliation claims, premium pricing, transfers, bulk registration, and API support.
What is a .RUGBY domain best used for?
It is a focused choice for rugby unions, clubs, teams, competitions, coaches, training programs, fans, retailers, publishers, and rugby communities. You can start by checking a name in the .RUGBY registration section.
Who operates the .RUGBY registry?
IANA lists World Rugby Strategic Developments Limited as the sponsoring organization for .RUGBY.
