Andy D’Urso has been a National List match official since 1990 when he was appointed to the National List of assistant referees. He has been a National List referee since 1994 and elected as a Select Group referee in 1999. He was a FIFA referee for four years from 2001 and refereed his first international Match in May 2004 between Republic of Ireland against Nigeria.
Andy D'Urso was dropped from the 'Select Group' of match referees by the Football Association in the summer of 2005. This announcement followed a match between Southampton and Blackburn on 21 August 2004. He appealed, successfully, against the decision to relegate him from the Select Group
From then on he has refereed infrequently in the Premier League. He took charge of a Premier League game between Aston Villa and West Ham on 14 August which was the first one since Aston Villa visited Fulham in December 2005.
But has refereed the FA Charity Shield in 2001 between Liverpool and Manchester United, the FA Youth Cup Final, and the League One Play Off Final in 2007 between Blackpool and Yeovil and in 2008 between Doncaster and Leeds. His last Chesterfield match was the 2014 Johnstone’s Trophy Final at Wembley on 30 March which saw Peterborough win 3-1 and having Joe Newell sent off after 68 minutes.
His last match was a 0-0 Yorkshire Derby draw between Leeds and Rotherham on 2 May.
