Question

How much does a rugby player in us league make?

Answer 1

Since rugby in the US only goes to semi pro, I can guarantee you not very much.  At all.  The Super League players all very likely have day jobs to give them a liveable income, but there are a few who play abroad.  The major sponsor for the US Super League is Michelob Amberbock, and they get a portion of revenue from it.  So, in the spirit of promoting the game, all of us Stateside ruggers should drink it, of course responsibly, whenever possible.

Answer 2

Rugby in the US is not a professional sport if compared to the top rugby playing countries. In other words, if you want to play rugby in the US, have a day job. The rugby money is in Europe. But to get a contract there, you would have to prove yourself at the top level of the game and get noticed. On the other hand, if you are young and a skilled rugby player, look at joining a European club and playing your way to the top.
