The Chinese Taipei Rugby Football Union (CTRFU)) (Chinese: 中華民國橄欖球協會) is the rugby union governing body in the Taiwan (Republic of China). Because of Taiwan's complex relationship with the People's Republic of China, the union competes under the name Chung Hua Taipei or "Chinese Taipei", rather than as either Taiwan or the Republic of China.[1][2]

History

The Taiwan Provincial Rugby Committee was founded in 1935,[3] and joined the International Rugby Football Board (now World Rugby) in 1986.[1] Concerning its foundation, the efforts of Ke Zhi-Zhang (a.k.a. Ka Shi-Sho:柯子彰 in Japan) cannot be overlooked.
