Rugby jerseys are sized by chest width alone, because the fit through the chest and shoulders matters most in a game built on contact. Shorts are sized by waist and inseam, and our full kit chart puts both on one page.
This guide shows how to measure rugby jerseys and shorts, what sizes we make for men’s, women’s, youth and girls’ teams, and where to find the chart for every rugby style. For general sizing advice, see our team uniform size guide.
How to measure a rugby jersey
Lay a jersey that fits the player well on a flat surface and take one measurement:
- Chest width (A): measure straight across the front, 1 inch below the armholes, side seam to side seam.
Rugby jerseys come in Men’s XS–3XL, Women’s XS–3XL, Youth YXS–YXL, Girls’ GXS–GXL. They are made in 100% polyester Speedo fabric, 260 GSM, a heavier weight than our soccer and volleyball jerseys. See our custom rugby jerseys or open the rugby jersey size chart.
How to measure rugby shorts
Lay the shorts flat with the waistband relaxed, then measure:
- Waist (A): measure across the top of the waistband, laid flat and relaxed.
- Inseam (C): from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.
Rugby shorts come in Men’s XS–2XL, Women’s XS–2XL, Youth YXS–Y2XL. See our custom rugby shorts or open the rugby shorts size chart.

Sizing tips for rugby teams
- Rugby jerseys are sized by chest width only, so get an accurate chest measurement for every player.
- Collect jersey and shorts sizes separately; forwards and backs often wear different sizes in each.
- Use girls’ sizes for junior girls’ teams and youth sizes for junior boys’ teams.
- Training wear has its own charts and runs to larger sizes than the jerseys.
- Sizes can be mixed within our 10-piece minimum per design, and reorders can be below 10 pieces.
