The Trinidad and Tobago women's national rugby union team is a national sporting side that represents Trinidad and Tobago in Women's rugby union. They played their first test match in 2003 and compete annually in the Rugby Americas North Women's Rugby Championship.

History

Trinidad and Tobago competed in the inaugural NAWIRA Women's Rugby Championship in 2003, they hosted Jamaica in Port of Spain in a two-test series and were victorious in both games.

Between 2016 and 2019 they competed in a ten-a-side version of the game as they tried to build-up the game in the region. The competition was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[1] [2]

2022 saw the teams increase up to twelve players and the region had its first 12-a-side tournament.

In 2023, Trinidad and Tobago sent their fifteens team after almost twelve years.[3] They finished as runners-up after losing to USA South in the final.[4]

Colombia gave Trinidad and Tobago their biggest defeat when they met at Estadio Cincuentenario in Medellín, Colombia on 15 June 2024.[5] Colombia ran in 15 unanswered tries to end the game 96–0.
