Governing Body
Rugby union is governed by the Tonga Rugby Union who are also members of the Pacific Islands Rugby Alliance.
Tonga were awarded 'second tier' status by the International Rugby Board which entitles them to funding from the IRB. The TRFU was founded in 1923, and joined the IRB, in 1987.
