The Wallis and Futuna Rugby Committee (French: Comité de Rugby Wallis et Futuna, —or officially: Comité Territorial de Rugby Wallis et Futuna) is a committee under the umbrella of the French Rugby Federation which is the governing body for rugby union within Wallis and Futuna.[1][2]

It is an associate member of the Federation of Oceania Rugby Unions (FORU), which is the regional governing body for Oceania, but it is not affiliated with the International Rugby Board (IRB) in its own right.[3]

National teams

Wallis and Futuna first played international 15-a-side rugby in 1966 at the South Pacific Games (as it was then called), but has since switched focus onto playing rugby sevens. The Wallis and Futuna team has competed at 7-a-side rugby tournaments in recent Pacific Games.[4][5]
