The Welsh Rugby Union is responsible for recruiting, developing and producing referees and match officials to officiate over games and matches at all levels within Welsh Rugby and throughout the world.  Welsh Rugby Union match officials participate in a number of elite level test matches and in all elite tournaments including the World Cup, The Rugby Championship, Six Nations and the World Sevens series.  However it is at the grass roots level of the game that referees are recruited, trained and learn the game from a refereeing perspective.
