The Belgian Rugby Federation (FBRB – Fédération Belge de Rugby in French and Belgische Rugby Bond in Dutch) is the governing body for rugby union in Belgium.
It was founded in 1931 and became affiliated with World Rugby, who were called the International Rugby Board then, in 1988. The Belgian Federation of Rugby (FBRB) is responsible for organizing and developing rugby union in Belgium. It includes the provincial districts, clubs, managers, players, coaches, educators and officials, to contribute to the practice and development of rugby in all communities in Belgium. It is an organization that brings together the LBFR (Ligue Belge Francophone de Rugby) and VRB (Vlaamse Rugby Bond).
