The National Registration Fee (NRF), first introduced in the 2022/23 season, remains a vital component of premier and community cricket. By consolidating participation costs into a single fee, the NRF continues to provide comprehensive insurance coverage and contributes significantly to enhancing digital services and improving technology experiences within cricket.
Starting April 2025, the NRF is as follows:
Juniors (juniors under 18): $17.45
Insurance: $8.00
Digital Services:
PlayHQ: $4.80
Community Apps & Websites: $4.65
Seniors (18 and above) $36.50
Insurance: $27.05
Digital Services:
PlayHQ: $4.80
Community Apps & Websites: $4.65
Exemptions: Coaches, team managers, and volunteers are exempt from the NRF but are still covered by the insurance policy.
Key Points:
The NRF is charged upon the first registration each year and covers competitions completed within 12 months.
Secondary registrations may require an additional NRF payment if the competition extends beyond the 12-month coverage period.
Why the change?
Insurance costs have surged dramatically, with an approximate increase of 45% over the last 3 years. Rising costs have driven up claim expenses and the overall cost of providing coverage, leading to increased premiums for policyholders.
Can I expect future changes?
We are reviewing the program YoY to ensure we can offer the best coverage. A huge reason for this rise, is because we were locked into a 3-year agreement.
