Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in Greece is a minor but growing sport. The governing body is the Hellenic Rugby Federation ( ), which is affiliated to FIRA, but not to the IRB. It was set up in 2004, at the instigation of the then Deputy Minister of Sport, George Orfanos, with the subsequent appointment of Dr Evangelos Stamos as President, a position which he still holds. Rugby first appears to have been played by British sailors in Greece, probably in the early 20th century. However, it has not been well organised until recently. The Greek Diaspora emigrated to many rugby playing countries, notably England, South Africa and Australia, and some of these people have returned or informed their family about the game. A second factor is that a number of British expatriates have come to live in Greece and some have set up clubs. However, these invariably are not very inclusive of native Greeks.
