The Kenya national rugby union team is the Kenyan national team in Rugby. it is controlled by the Kenya Rugby Football Union. The team participates Confederation of African Rugby (CAR) tournaments, but has never qualified for the Rugby World Cup.
Kenya played its first international in 1955, beating Tanganyika 11-3 but the team played rarely until the the new millennium. Its biggest win is against Nigeria, 96-3 in August 10, 1987 and worst defeat against Namibia 12-84 in May 27, 2006.
The Kenyan sevens team takes part in international Rugby sevens competitions and has been more successful than their 15's counterpart. Perhaps their most successful moment in rugby sevens was beating rugby giant Australia in the London Sevens 2006, going on to reach the Final of the Plate competition. In the 2007 rugby sevens in New Zealand, Kenya went on to draw 2nd in their pot, beating such rugby giants as Argentina and Tonga, before being narrowly defeated in the quarter-finals by eventual runners-up Fiji.
Kenya compete annually against Uganda in the Elgon Cup.
