Artificial Turf Rugby Fields

Our synthetic rugby fields are trusted by universities, the RFU, IRFU, and professional teams, offering surfaces that meet World Rugby standards for safety and performance.

All of our field systems are installed with a shock pad and infill to take the high impact of rugby; with construction works completed by our in-house team, we deliver artificial turf rugby fields that are durable and high-performing.

Artificial Surfaces

Hybrid Grass Rugby Fields

Hybrid grass combines synthetic fibers with natural grass, creating a durable, high-performance surface. Designed for high impact and extended use, it resists wear and tear while maintaining a natural field performance.

Key Benefits:
• Durability: Reinforced to withstand the impacts of rugby matches and training.
• Consistent: Reliable performance year-round, significantly aiding in winter months.
• Extended Play: They can extend the amount of play up to three times as much as a natural grass field, reducing the strain on your surfaces and maintenance team.
• Tried & Tested: Famously used on the world stage, we installed the SIS Grass Hybrid solution for the 2023 Rugby World Cup Final.

Hybrid Surfaces

Natural Grass Rugby Fields

We use over 25 years of field construction experience to construct natural grass rugby fields. We manage the whole package, from design to drainage, irrigation, undersoil heating, and rugby field maintenance. SIS Pitches has multiple turf farms worldwide so that we can install our high-quality natural turf in our projects.

A natural grass rugby field can also be stitched with our SIS Grass Hybrid system to increase the durability and stability of the surface, which is perfect for improving the performance of a rugby field.

Natural Surfaces

Rugby World Cup Final Field

In 2023, SIS Pitches provided the field for the Rugby World Cup final at the Stade de France.
