🟣 Who is Sara Cox?
Sara Cox is famed for her expertise as a Rugby Union Referee and has already made waves as a pioneering woman in an often male-dominated sport. Widely known for becoming the World’s first female professional Rugby Union Referee, Sara has solidified her name in the history books with many “firsts” in the sport. Having formerly played rugby for teams such as the Saracens and Exeter, Sara has unique knowledge of the sport - incorporating her perspectives of being on the pitch and the sidelines into her motivational speeches. When looking to hire a speaker who has broken boundaries and strives to see equal representation in sports, hire Sara Cox today!
A career that initially began on the pitch, Sara first began playing rugby for teams such as Cullompton, Plymouth Albion, Exeter and the Saracens. Having also had the opportunity to trial for the U-17 England squad, Sara was unfortunately forced to retire from the sport due to injury. Following her retirement, Sara spent time working as a Marketing Executive for Coastal Recycling, before returning to her beloved sport in 2013 as a Women’s Sevens & Fifteens Rugby Referee for World Rugby. Throughout her tenure with World Rugby, Sara has had countless incredible experiences - such as being a Rugby Referee at the Commonwealth Games, the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games, the Women’s Rugby World Cup and National League 1 matches.
A truly pioneering woman in rugby, Sara has achieved so much. She has claimed titles such as being the first woman to referee a Premiership Rugby Union match, the first female referee of a Premiership Rugby Cup match and the first woman to officiate a match between two Premiership Rugby teams. Most recently, whilst working as a Professional Referee for the Rugby Football Union, Sara has added yet more accolades to her roster - such as becoming the first female to referee a Men’s Premiership Rugby match, being selected as the Referee for the 2022 Rugby World Cup, and the first female referee of a Greene King Championship match. With countless pioneering feats under her belt, Sara’s dedication to the sport saw her appointed MBE in the 2023 Birthday Honours for Services to Rugby Union Football.
