Rugby in Oman

The history of rugby in Oman dates back to the 1970s. Initially a minor sport played locally and by people from abroad, rugby has gained prominence since. The Oman Rugby Committee is the sport's national governing body, and was founded in 2021. In the same year, Oman Rugby joined Asia Rugby as an associate member, and Muscat Rugby Club, a founding member of the Arabian Gulf Rugby Football Union, celebrated its 50th anniversary. In 2024, the country's first touch rugby club was launched as part of the Mehlah Sports Club.
