Dr Ben O'Keeffe is an international rugby referee from New Zealand - and the country's most experienced, holding national records for first-class, Super Rugby, and Test matches officiated.
About Ben O’Keeffe
His career includes two Rugby World Cups (2019 & 2023) and two British & Irish Lions series - appointments made only to the best officials in the world. He's refereed Six Nations internationals, the Nations Championship, and Super Rugby consistently at the top level.
Away from the field, Ben is a medical doctor - and he applies the same principles to both: precision under pressure, clear decision-making, and the discipline to keep performing when stakes are high.
The Referee Performance Framework is the result of everything he's learned across that career - distilled into practical, video-based coaching that any referee can use to improve their game.
If you're serious about refereeing, this is where to start.
