Rugby union in Rotuma

Rugby union in Rotuma is a major sport.[1] Rotuma is a dependency of Fiji, although one with a distinctive culture and language more related to its neighbours in Tonga and Samoa.

The Fiji Rugby Football Union is the governing body of rugby union in Rotuma.

History

Rugby was introduced to Rotuma at the turn of the 20th century by sailors and New Zealand missionaries.

In 1910, a combined America Universities rugby team comprising mostly players from California, Stanford, and the University of Nevada went on a tour of Australia and New Zealand, as well as Fiji and Rotuma. The underdog American side upset both Rotorua RFC and Auckland RU, which came as a great surprise to the international rugby community.

Rugby Sevens has been a sport in the South Pacific Games since the late 1990s.
