==History== 
Rugby was first introduced into Jamaica by the British. Much of the competition is with neighbouring Caribbean islands, visiting ships and touring sides.

Jamaica competes in the Caribbean Championship, a tournament which includes [[Trinidad and Tobago national rugby union team|Trinidad and Tobago]], [[Bermuda national rugby union team|Bermuda]], [[Martinique national rugby union team|Martinique]], the [[Cayman Islands national rugby union team|Cayman Islands]], the [[Bahamas national rugby union team|Bahamas]], [[British Virgin Islands national rugby union team|British Virgin Islands]], [[Antigua and Barbuda national rugby union team|Antigua]] and [[Guyana national rugby union team|Guyana]].<ref name=Completerugby>Bath, Richard (ed.) ''The Complete Book of Rugby'' (Seven Oaks Ltd, 1997 ((ISBN|1-86200-013-1))) p78</ref>

[[Jamaica]] were the most surprising union to announce an interest in hosting the [[2019 Rugby World Cup]], considering they had never participated in a previous event. The initiative was withdrawn soon after being proposed.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.sportsjamaica.com/read_article.php?id=13375 |title=Jamaica on list to host 2019 Rugby World Cup :: Rugby |publisher=Sports Jamaica |date=2008-08-18 |access-date=2016-10-25))</ref>
