Americas Rugby News Rugby news from across the Americas!
Earlier this week the Fédération Haïtienne de rugby took an important step forward into being fully integrated into the international rugby community. With Haiti Rugby unveiling an executive Committee the union of the Caribbean nation is closer to becoming a future member of Americas Rugby North.
Presently the entity still known as NACRA has 15 members – Bahamas, Bermuda, Barbados, British Virigin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands and the USA.
Additional members are inevitable as the sport is played in other countries that fall within the region. Such instances include Belize, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, St. Kitts and Nevis and Suriname.
In 2015 Haiti played an international rugby match for the first time ever, facing the Dominican Republic on the Dominican side of the border.
