HISTORY OF LUXEMBOURG RUGBY UNION - Rugby union has a relatively short history in Luxembourg, having only been introduced to the country in the early 1970s. The game was first played in Luxembourg by British and Irish expatriates who were living and working in the country.
In 1973, the Luxembourg Rugby Federation was founded, and the first official rugby match in Luxembourg was played between the Rugby Club Luxembourg and a team from Brussels in the same year. The Rugby Club Luxembourg was later renamed the Rugby Club Luxembourg Black Star, and it remains one of the country's oldest and most successful rugby clubs.
In the early years, Luxembourg rugby was primarily played by expatriate teams and was not particularly well-organized. However, over the years, the sport has grown in popularity, and more and more Luxembourgers have taken up the sport. Today, the country has a thriving rugby scene with a number of local clubs, and the national team has competed in several international competitions.
The Luxembourg national rugby union team played their first international match in 1991 against Switzerland, and since then, they have played against a number of other European nations, including Belgium, Austria, and Bulgaria. They are currently ranked 98th in the world by World Rugby (Feb 23).
The country has also hosted several international rugby tournaments, including the European Nations Cup and the Rugby Europe Championship. While the sport remains relatively small in Luxembourg compared to other European countries, it has a dedicated following, and the country's rugby union community continues to grow and develop.
