Romania at the Rugby World Cup
Romania have played in the first eight editions of the Rugby World Cup since the inaugural tournament in 1987. They originally qualified for the ninth edition of the Rugby World Cup to be played in 2019. In 2018 after it was discovered that Romania were one of three countries guilty of fielding ineligible players in multiple qualifiers they received a points deduction. The points deduction meant Romania did not qualify for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
