Rugby was first introduced in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period, and was played mostly by ex-pats.[1] In March 1976 an Indonesian Sevens squad, alongside twelve other nations, participated in the inaugural
Hong Kong Sevens tournament.[2] Indonesia returned to Hong Kong again for the 1976 tournament where they lost to
Tonga in the plate final.[3] Indonesia continued to participate in the tournament until 1986 after which, interest began to wane and the program went on hiatus.[1]
Indonesia returned to competitive sevens rugby at the 2012
HSBC Asian Rugby Sevens Series after having some success with their fifteens program.
