Rugby Europe

Rugby Europe, formerly known as FIRA-AER, is the governing body for rugby union in Europe. It was established in 1999 to promote, develop, organize, and administer rugby in Europe under the authority of World Rugby. In 2014, FIRA-AER was renamed Rugby Europe after the split of the organization. Headquartered in France, Rugby Europe is privately owned and has approximately 50 employees. The organization's primary product is streaming services, and it generates revenue through various sources, including broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and membership fees.
