Because there are so many levels in the armature and professional ranks, schools, colleges universities, services, pubs clubs, male female and yes there even gay Rugby teams, junior youth under 18, under 20, A side B side. The list goes on, its nearly impossible to provide any accurate statistic. However, globally it was estimated that there are an estimated 3/4 of million and growing.

There is no real accurate figure. This is because the NRL and IRB hold records of membership teams they do not hold information of those not formally registered such as school, collage, local village side, company teams etc. In the last estimate it was suggested that over half a million official and unofficial teams exist across the 2 codes
