The Mauritius national rugby union team represents Mauritius in international rugby union. The team is composed almost entirely of white Mauritians, specifically members of the Franco-Mauritian ethnic minority group, as rugby is a much less popular sport amongst the Indo-Mauritian majority^[1] and also because of the racist tendency of the Franco-Mauritians towards other communities. ^[2] Mauritius is a member of the International Rugby Board (IRB), but the national team is ranked as third tier, and Mauritius have yet to compete in either the Africa Cup or Rugby World Cup.
