The Burundi national rugby team played their first international in 2003 - losing to Uganda.

Rugby has been played in Burundi since the 1970s, first among Belgian players who mixed during the 1980s with many French residents.

Among the greatest players are Marc Bourgeois, Charles Mugiraneza, “Okume”, Bernard Bordes, Patrice Ndindakumana, Lilian Campan, Louis Riboli, and Simeon Sahabo.

The IRC has played international matches against the French, Rwandese and Kenyan teams.
