The Brazilian Rugby Confederation is the governing body for rugby union in Brazil, founded in 2010. It is the successor of the União de Rugby do Brasil and the Associação Brasileira de Rugby. It became a member of the International Rugby Board in 1995.
The confederation has six affiliate state federations: Gaúcha, Catarinense, Paranaense, Paulista, Mineira, and Fluminense. Other state federations are unaffiliated with the CBRu.
It organizes the Campeonato Brasileiro de Rugby, Taça Tupi and Campeonato Brasileiro de Rugby Sevens.
