Romania currently comprises 24,610 players, 9,810 members of which are registered and 113 clubs in the whole country.

The federation became affiliated to the International Rugby Football Board, now known as World Rugby, in 1987 when Romania were invited to take part in the inaugural World Cup the same year.

Octavian Morariu was a former president of the FRR, and was considered by many the pioneer in the reconstruction of rugby union in Romania as well as the federation itself.

Due to his success, he later became the President of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee (COSR) and was replaced by George Straton, one of his closest associates.

The current president of FRR is Alin Petrache, another former rugby union player for Romania.
