The Papua New Guinea Rugby Football Union, or Rugby PNG is the governing body for rugby union in Papua New Guinea. It was established in 1962 and was affiliated to the International Rugby Board in 1993.[1][2]

Rugby PNG is a full member of Oceania Rugby, which is the regional governing body for rugby in Oceania.[3]

In September 6 2024 Rugby PNG membership was suspended after several failings by the PNG governing body to comply with orders imposed by the Regional Association of World Rugby. [4]
