Calling all Rugby Players Eligible to Play for Cyprus

We continuously seek to increase our pool of players from the Cypriot diaspora and on-island rugby players, in men's and women's rugby, with the aim of raising the profile of the sport across the island and achieving greater success on the international stage. We welcome players aged 16 and above, but if you qualify and are under 16, you are still encouraged to reach out to us.
