The Hong Kong China men's national rugby union team represents Hong Kong in men's rugby union. Since 1952, rugby union in Hong Kong has been administered by Hong Kong China Rugby. The team successfully competes annually in the Asia Rugby Championship.
Hong Kong has one of the oldest rugby traditions in Asia, having been played there since the 19th century, when British colonists arrived in Hong Kong and brought the sport with them. For a long time, rugby union in Hong Kong was traditionally associated with Hong Kong's British colonial settlers, but since the 1990s there has been extensive efforts to integrate the game with the local Cantonese Chinese community, it included some local born players, with a degree of success; the first of these players being "Rambo" Leung Yeung Kit, considered to be, one of best Hong Kong players during his era. Other players such as Ricky Cheuk, Max Woodward, Nick Hewson, Rowan Varty and Cado Lee had made significant impact in international tournaments.
Hong Kong has finished first place in the Asia Rugby Championship in 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 and made it to the repechage of the 2015 Rugby World Cup qualifying, though lost to Uruguay 24 to 3.They again competed in the repechage tournament for the 2019 Rugby World Cup and 2023 Rugby World Cup.
