The United Arab Emirates national rugby union team represents the United Arab Emirates in rugby union and is governed by the United Arab Emirates Rugby Federation.[1] The team competes in the annual Asia Rugby competition. They were once part of the Arabian Gulf team which consisted of players from the Gulf Cooperation Countries on the Arabian Peninsula. In 2011 they were granted membership into the Asian Rugby Football Union and, following a successful bid, were granted full membership in World Rugby. The majority of the UAE National squad is selected from UAE Premiership and Division One rugby teams.
