The Cambodia national rugby union team, nicknamed the Koupreys, represents Cambodia in the sport of rugby union. The national team is administered by the Cambodian Federation of Rugby,[2] which is part of Asia Rugby.[3]

The Koupreys have been inactive since at least 2015, their last recorded match being a 25-20 win against Brunei on 21 June 2014.[4] Cambodia has yet to make their debut at the Rugby World Cup.

History

Cambodia's first match was against Macau in Hong Kong on 22 May 2005, a curtain raiser to a 2007 Rugby World Cup qualifier[5], which resulted in a 7-46 loss for them. Their first victory by 30-7 followed in 2006, against Indonesia as part of the 2006 ARFU Asian Rugby Series Regional tournament which they hosted in Phnom Penh and also won.
