World Deaf
Rankings
15s
Contents of Rankings Table
The Rankings Table is based on ALL Deaf Rugby XV International Fixtures only, which dates from 1994/95 to presence day.
Calculation
Men’s and Women's 15s World Deaf Rugby Rankings have been calculated using a 'Points Exchange' system, where sides gain or lose points based on the match result. Other criteria include the relative strength of each team, the margin of victory, and an allowance for home advantage.
At this time, no 15s matches has taken place for Women's, therefore, no Rankings available.
Members Unions
All member countries have a rating, typically between 0 and 100. The top side in the world will normally have a rating above 90. Any match that is not a full international between two member countries does not count at all.
WDRC Ranking
Points are doubled during the World Deaf Rugby Championship Finals to recognise the importance of this event, but all other international matches, friendly or competitive, are treated the same across the world.
