Description
Introduction The English Super League rugby league competition is one of few professional team sports in Europe that operates under a salary cap. The Super League salary cap limits the total amount that a club is permitted to spend on player wage payments and is currently set at a maximum limit of 1.6 million [pounds sterling]. (1) A Super League club is not permitted to spend more than the salary cap on payments to the twenty five registered players that comprise a club's first team squad. (2) Failure to observe the salary cap rule may result in a club being penalised by way of: (3) a warning; a fine; a deduction of up to 20 competition points; a restriction imposed on the club's capacity to register new players; and/or a recommendation to the Rugby Football League (the sporting code's governing body) that the club be withdrawn from participation in some competitions. Penalties also apply to players and other stakeholders who are subject to the salary cap rules. (4)
