The Qatar Rugby Federation (
Arabic: الاتحاد القطري للرجبي) is the governing body for
rugby union in
Qatar. It was founded in 2006 [2] and sent teams to the Arabian 7s Challenge Cup in that year.[3] However, it was largely dormant [4] until the
Arabian Gulf Rugby Football Union (AGRFU) was dissolved at the end of 2010.[4][5] The AGRFU had organised local and regional rugby competitions before then across most countries in the
Arabian Peninsula, including Qatar, but was split up to allow national federations to take charge in each country.[6]
The Qatar Rugby Federation was fully affiliated to
Asia Rugby in 2016,[2] and became an associate member of
World Rugby in 2020.[1]
