The 2019 Global Rapid Rugby season was a showcase series for seven rugby union teams played in locations across the Asia-Pacific region. Global Rapid Rugby originally planned a full home and away tournament followed by finals, with eight teams competing in 2019.[1][2] The competition launch was postponed by a year, however, due to the short time frame following World Rugby approval in November 2018.[3] A scaled-down showcase series of fourteen matches was arranged instead.[4]
