Lusitanos XV are a Portuguese professional rugby union representative team based in Lisbon which was created in September 2013 to compete in the 2013–14 European Challenge Cup.[1] It was announced by the Rugby governing body ERC on 2 September that the Portuguese team would hold their home games at Estádio Nacional.[2] However, all their home games were played at the Portuguese national rugby teams home stadium of Estádio Universitário de Lisboa.
In 2021, the team entered the Rugby Europe Super Cup, representing Portugal in an eight-team pan-European competition for clubs from non-Six Nations countries. The team reached the final, played in May 2022, and lost 17–14 at home against the Black Lions.
