The Turkey national rugby union team is a relatively recent creation, being started at the end of 2009. Turkey is currently a third-tier side. The team first played in 2012 against Slovakia and won 31–5 in Bratislava. On tour, they also defeated Estonia 49–5 in Tallinn.[1] Turkey has yet to play in the qualifying stages for the Rugby World Cup finals.
Rugby union in Turkey is administered by the Turkish Rugby Federation (Türkiye Ragbi Federasyonu). The federation is affiliated to Rugby Europe (formerly FIRA-AER),[2] and as of 11th May 2023 a full member of World Rugby (formerly IRB).[3] Murat Pazan is the federation's president.
