Rugby is a team sport that originated in England in the early 19th century. It is played between two teams, each typically consisting of 15 players in the union format (or 13 players in the league format). The objective of the game is to score points by carrying the ball over the opposing team’s goal line to score a try, or by kicking the ball between the goalposts to score a conversion, penalty, or drop goal.
The game is characterized by its physicality, with players being allowed to tackle opponents to gain possession of the ball. The ball is oval-shaped, and players may pass it laterally or backward, but not forward, except by kicking. Rugby is played on a rectangular field, known as a pitch, with goalposts at each end.
Rugby has various formats, including Rugby Union, Rugby League, and sevens, each with its own set of rules and variations in team sizes and gameplay. The sport is governed internationally by World Rugby, which oversees competitions such as the Rugby World Cup. Rugby emphasizes qualities such as teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship.
