Greece national rugby union team

The Greece national rugby union team represents one of the world's newest rugby union playing nations. The national team is governed by the HRF.
Greece has been participating in international competitions since October 2005 playing its first international game against Austria in Vienna.
Since then, they have played several international games in FIRA competition 3D, and in Greece. Greece played Slovakia in the Final on 12 May 2007 in Thessaloniki, where they won 20–17 and in doing so gained promotion to division 3C.

History

It is unknown when rugby was first played in Greece. During the mid 19th century, English and French sailors are recorded as playing some of the earliest games in northern Greece.
After nearly 12 years without a test match due to a long sanction period brought on by governance and management issues, Greece played its first test match against Albania, on 22 November 2025.
As of 5 December 2025, Greece is a member of Rugby Europe.
