Rugby Federation of Armenia

The Rugby Federation of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստան Ռեգբիի ֆեդերացիա, Hajastani Regbii Federatsia; Russian: Федерация регби Армении, Federatsiya Regbi Armenii) is the governing body for rugby union in Armenia.

It was founded in 2000 and joined FIRA-AER (now Rugby Europe) as an associate member in 2002.

Armenia had its own representative team within the USSR, although it was not considered to be a proper national side.

The rugby teams were disbanded due to the effects of the first Nagorno-Karabakh War and economic difficulties in Armenia during first years of independence in the early 1990s.

National teams for sevens and fifteen-a-side were soon formed to play in European competitions.
