The Mongolian Rugby Football Union (MRFU), which governs the sport of rugby in the country, was established in 2003. The first ever official match of Mongolia was played on 9 June 2009 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, against Kyrgyzstan, finishing with a respectable 21–38 loss. This match took place as part of the second regional division of the 2009 Asian Five Nations.
