Sports event insurance

Sports event insurance cover provides protection for organisers of both amateur and professional events such as triathlons, football tournaments, community sports days, golf days, boxing tournaments, charity sports evenings, water sports festivals, boat racing and regattas.

We can provide sports event insurance for any sports event. We can include cover for a small local event with less than 100 visitors to national televised sports fixtures. Whatever your sports event we can cover it.

What is sports events insurance?

Typically cover provides public liability insurance for the event organiser. However, it can extend to include event cancellation insurance. We can even include key personnel non-appearance insurance cover, terrorism & property cover and employers liability insurance.

Public liability insurance protects members of the public in the event of injury or damage to them or their property as a result of the insured’s negligence. Depending on the size of your event cover can range from £1,000,000 through to £20,000,000.

For large sports events, these types of events often attract large public gatherings and media attention. It is imperative that all risks are assessed beforehand and appropriate strategies implemented to make sure that the event goes off without any incidents and in the event of any accidents then you have piece of mind in a comprehensive policy that protects you from any litigious claims.
