Rugby is a team sport that originated in England in the early 19th century. It is played with an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field known as a pitch. The primary objective of the game is to score points by carrying the ball over the opposing team’s goal line and touching it down (scoring a try), or by kicking it through the goalposts (scoring a goal). Rugby is characterized by its physicality and strategic play, involving elements of running, passing, tackling, and scrummaging.
There are several variations of rugby, the two most prominent being Rugby Union and Rugby League, each with its own set of rules and gameplay structure. Rugby Union is typically played with 15 players on each team, while Rugby League features 13 players. Matches are divided into two halves and can vary in length depending on the rules of the specific code. The sport is governed internationally by World Rugby, which sets the standards for competition and officiating. Rugby has a passionate global following and is known for its strong sense of sportsmanship and camaraderie among players and fans alike.
