The Mongolian national rugby union team represents Mongolia in men's international rugby union. Mongolia is a member of World Rugby,[2] and has yet to play in a Rugby World Cup. The Mongolian Rugby Football Union (MRFU), which governs the sport of rugby in the country, was established in 2003.
Mongolia played its first official match in 2009, a 21–38 loss against Kyrgyzstan in the second regional division of the 2009 Asian Five Nations. From 2010, Mongolia competed sporadically within the newly introduced Division 4 of the tournament.[3] With the restructuring of Asian Rugby, Mongolia has competed in Division 3 Central of the Asia Rugby Championship, most recently in 2022.[4]
