Rugby union in Macau
Template:Short description Template:Sport overview Rugby union in Macau is long established, partly as a result of its being a Portuguese colony. Rugby union is one of the most popular sports in Macau. In contrast to the People's Republic of China, it has had a continuous existence dating back over a hundred years.
Macau has a national side, which competes in international competitions, and there is also Macau Rugby Club, which takes part in various Seniors (adult) competitions [1]Template:Category handler[<span title="Script error: No such module "string".">usurped]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".. Macau also has a Junior (children's) club, called the Macau Bats Rugby Club, which competes in regional/international tournaments. Beach rugby and rugby tens tournaments have been held in the territory, and the game benefits from rugby's much stronger presence in neighbouring Hong Kong.
A representative national Women's side played in the classification stages of the 2004 Hong Kong Women's Sevens.
