Gibraltar Rugby National Team

Gibraltar Rugby met all the technical requirements to join Rugby Europe.

However, various other issues, including political actions, mean that, as of January 2025, Gibraltar Rugby is still working on joining Rugby Europe.

Undeterred by the lack of official competition, Gibraltar Rugby has worked hard to continue to provide our players with International competition. Our quest for matches has taken us across Europe, as well as Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and Bermuda. All of these matches have been largely self-funded, with Sponsorships and Gibraltar Government funding alleviating the costs.

We have played 21 matches over the last 13 years, with increasing difficulties in securing friendly matches since the Covid pandemic. The table below shows our results to date. There have been 12 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses, scoring 453 points and conceding 401 points.
