Belgium Rugby

The Belgium rugby team played in their first international fixture way back in 1932, where they drew 6-6 with the Netherlands. From then until the 1970s, the team only played sporadic matches. 

However, in the 1970s, the team began to play a broader range of countries and started to play competitive rugby more regularly. Towards the end of the decade, they went on a winning run and claimed victory in the majority of their matches. Following this, throughout the 1980s and 90s, the team continued to be successful and even began to play sides like the Barbarians and Argentina

Despite still not being a force in European rugby, the Belgium national team has continued to improve throughout the 2000s and beyond. In 2023, the team was promoted to the Rugby Europe Championship, which is the level of rugby below the Six Nations. In 2025, they came within a point of qualifying for the 2027 Rugby World Cup but were narrowly edged out by Samoa

Certainly considered a team on the up, the Belgium rugby team are playing their best rugby in a generation at the moment. Follow their progress with RugbyPass.
