The Gibraltar national rugby union team represent Gibraltar in men's rugby union.
The nation is not currently affiliated to World Rugby and have yet to qualify for a World Cup.
On 5 November 2011 the Gibraltar Rugby Football Union (GRFU) fielded a national team in its first official Test Match. The fixture was against the Belgium Development Team and was held in Brussels. The final score was: Belgium Development 20 – Gibraltar 8.
Test Caps have officially been awarded to the Gibraltar team players, this came after playing and defeating a Cyprus XV and an Israel A team. Their first full international came against Malta in March 2015.
The GRFU went through the process of FIRA/AER (European Rugby Federation) membership.[1] The GRFU had planned other international fixtures for April 2012. This however was blocked by Spain.[2] This came as a surprise as UEFA and the ICC recognise Gibraltar.
The Gibraltar national rugby sevens team plays regularly in tournaments, particularly in the Tangier Sevens.
