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
94 teams have set out at the start of the play off stages. When the RWC Finals start in Septemeber 2011 there will be 20 teams in the 4 pool play offs
