The game was introduced by the Singapore Rugby Union through the men's clubs in 1996.

The first Singapore national women's 15s team was formed that year and took part in A.R.F.U.

Although losing their first four test matches over 2006 and 2007, the team was not to be denied their first win for long.

The Singapore Women narrowly lost a place in the finals to Japan.

In 2009 Singapore hosted the Asian World Cup qualification tournament.
