The Jamaica women's national rugby union team are a national sporting side of Jamaica, representing them at rugby union. They played their first sevens international in 2000, and their first test in 2003.
Jamaica played their first international against Trinidad and Tobago on 3 December 2003 in Port of Spain. It was the inaugural NAWIRA Women's Rugby Championship that was hosted in Trinidad and Tobago's capital; the hosts were victorious in both games as they kept Jamaica scoreless both times.
In 2006, Jamaica hosted Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago in September. Despite a narrow loss to Guyana in the opening match, Jamaica managed an impressive win against Trinidad and Tobago to win their first tournament due to their higher goal difference.[1]
They were runners-up in 2011, and between 2016 and 2019 they competed in a ten-a-side version of the game as the region was trying to build-up the game. The competition was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[2] [3]
2022 saw Jamaica compete in the regions first 12-a-side tournament. They met the USA South Panthers in the final after an undefeated run in their pool games, and just lost by a three-point margin.[4] [5]
In 2023, Jamaica attended their first fifteens tournament after twelve years.[6]
