This page contains a list of all trade transactions between clubs for the 2024 Major league Rugby Season. Please note that this transaction list functions slightly differently to previous on this site, the ‘season’ begins immediately after the 2023 Collegiate Draft (17th August 2023) and runs to the 2024 MLR Trade and Signing Deadline, which was 13th May 2024.
The Official MLR Trade Wire seems to run from one Championship Final to the next, so the Trade Wire begins with the Collegiate Draft. Please bear this in mind when comparing the two, although much of the information is the same.
A complete list of transactions for the 2024 season is outlined in the table below, with the most recent transaction at the top. In the case that a draft pick was traded, the player selected with that pick is included in brackets, if known.

***- There is some confusion regarding this transaction. On January 17th 2024, the New England Free Jacks acquired 2024 Salary Cap Space (unknown) and the Utah Warriors’ 2024 2nd Rd Collegiate Draft Pick, 16th overall. However, when the 2024 Collegiate Draft came, the Utah Warriors used the pick themselves. NARDB has reached out to several sources including the Free Jacks, and they are also confused about this.
This list is updated as we learn about transactions. The ‘Date’ column reflects the date that the transaction appeared on the MLR Trade Wire, which is often up to a week after the actual transaction date, sometimes longer.
The ‘(Unknown)’ included in Salary Cap Space transactions reflects the fact that although we know that some cap space was included, we do not know the dollar amount or the percentage of cap space. In fact, we aren’t even certain what the MLR salary cap IS.
The ‘(TBD)’ included with some transactions including Collegiate Draft Picks reflects the fact that the Draft involving that pick has not yet taken place, so we do not yet know who was selected with that pick.
