.rw is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Rwanda.

2nd Level Domains

Registration is permitted directly at the second level, unlike some other ccTLDs where registrations are at the third level beneath categorized labels. However, some of the second-level domains that could be used for third-level registrations parallel to other TLDs are reserved by the registry, although they are not offering registrations within them.
