Synthetic Pitch

Synthetic Pitches

In order to ensure the best pitches are constructed and installed, The RFU has provided two downloadable documents to provide direction to the industry, consultants and prospective buyers. IRB regulation 22 provides information on minimum technical standards whilst the second document provides information that needs to be considered when providing a joint football/rugby surface.

All new and refurbished artificial grass pitch systems must conform to the performance standards, design, specification and construction principles, as shown in the two documents.
