Belgian Rugby Federation

It includes the provincial districts, clubs, managers, players, coaches, educators and officials, to contribute to the practice and development of rugby in all communities in Belgium.

The Belgian federation, created on 24 November 1931 (a founding member of FIRA – Association Européenne de Rugby, 2 January 1934) is one of the oldest European federations.

It was created at the initiative of the French Rugby Club (established in 1930 by Jean Rey, a future first coach of the national team), although it is the British of British Sport Club of Antwerp (founded in 1919 to section the initiative of Henri Truyens) and Brussels (1925) who implanted rugby in Belgium.

The first Board of Directors was held on 20 January 1932 and the first match of the Belgium national rugby union team was organized for 13 March 1932 in the Netherlands, ending in a 6-6 draw.
