Rugby union in the Federated States of Micronesia

Rugby union in the Federated States of Micronesia is a minor but growing sport.

Micronesia's main problems are related to geographical factors - its population lives on widely separated tropical coral atolls in the South Pacific Ocean.

All of this makes a rugby infrastructure difficult to construct, and the islands are beset by rising sea levels.

In 1995, Guam Rugby Club undertook tours to Saipan (in the Northern Marianas), Palau, Pohnpei and continental Asia.

In 2009, the islands were visited by the president of the Japan Rugby Association, Yoshiro Mori.
