Governing Body
The governing body of Italian rugby union is the Federazione Italiana Rugby (FIR). An original organisational committee was established in 1911, although it was in 1928 when the body became the FIR, and in 1987, they joined the International Rugby Board. In 1934 the FIR became founding members of the Federation Internationale de Rugby Amateur.
