Kazakhstan have been participating in international competition since 1994 after their independence from the USSR.

In 2007, the fortunes of the team greatly improved by winning all five of their matches and rising 14 places in the IRB World Rankings to 32nd.

This led to the team being entered into the top division of the new Asian Five Nations in 2008.

Their second-place finish in 2010 saw them advance to the four-team playoff for a final place at the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
