Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby union in South Korea is a minor but growing sport. The game is exclusively played in the southern part of the country: North Korea has little or no rugby presence. It is unknown when rugby was first played in Korea. During the mid 19thcentury, European sailors are recorded as playing some of the earliest games in north east Asia, in ports such as Shanghai and Yokohama in neighbouring China and Japan, but it is unclear whether this occurred in Korea itself. However, it seems certain it had some presence by the mid 20th century. Korea was to become occupied by Japan, the main rugby playing nation of Asia, and it could well have been introduced then. South Korea still maintains a fierce rivalry with Japan to this day.
