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

Contents

In Rugby League Football the limit of foreign players a club can have in Super League is three. Before 2002, the limit was set at four players. An exception to this rule is French side Catalan Dragons, who are allowed eight non-French players, and Harlequins RL who are allowed four quota players. In the National Leagues, teams are only allowed one quota player.

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 not qualified for 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.
