Rugby is a team sport that originated in England in the early 19th century. It is played with an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field, commonly referred to as a pitch. The game is characterized by two teams, each typically consisting of 15 players in rugby union or 13 players in rugby league, who attempt to score points by carrying the ball over the opponent’s goal line or kicking it through the goalposts.
Rugby is distinguished by its physical nature, involving tackling, scrummaging, and rucking, which are key elements of gameplay. Players can pass the ball sideways or backwards but not forwards, and the game encourages teamwork, strategy, and physical endurance.
Rugby has various formats, including traditional 15-a-side matches, 7-a-side variations, and touch rugby, which is a non-contact version. It is governed by specific rules set by organizations such as World Rugby. The sport has a passionate following and is played professionally and recreationally worldwide, with major tournaments, including the Rugby World Cup and Six Nations Championship, drawing significant international attention.
