Rugby union at the 1920 Summer Olympics
- Rugby union at the 1920 Summer Olympics
Rugby union was played at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. Two nations entered the rugby event - France and the United States. The French team were very much thought to be assured of the gold medal and came in as raging favourites in the event. However, the United States caused a massive shock, defeating France in the only game, eight points to nil.
