The Czech Republic national rugby union team is the third tier rugby national team of the Czech Republic.
They first started playing as the Czech Republic in 1993 after the split of Czechoslovakia and now compete in the European Nations Cup. They have yet to qualify for the Rugby World Cup, but have entered the qualifiers since the 1995 edition. Rugby union in the Czech Republic is administered by the Czech Rugby Union. The sport is still amateur in the country, but there are several Czech players who are professionals in France, including Martin Jágr.
The best ranking in the world ranking was 24th place in 2005. The national side is ranked 36th in the world (as of 5 November 2019).[1]
