Quota players

Quota players

Quota players is a term in sport referring to the limit of foreign players on a domestic team.

Rugby League

Each English Super League (Europe) team is allowed to have three foreign players. Harlequins Rugby League are permitted four quota players as they are considered to be a non-heartland team. French side Catalan Dragons are allowed eight non-French players.

National League teams are only allowed one quota player, aside from Celtic Crusaders who are made up mostly of non-EU players.

Exceptions

There are three exceptions for a player to avoid quota player status. Those are listed below:-

1. When a player has played for a rugby team for six years, he is eligible to gain British citizenship and does not count under the quota.

2. If the player has a passport for any EU nation or a Kolpak nation.

3. If the player is from a Kolpak nation such as Samoa or Tonga.
