Welsh Rugby Union, also known as WRU, is a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1881, the organization employs approximately 420 individuals and reported $139.9M in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as the governing body for Rugby in Wales, which is the national sport of Wales, the WRU is primarily involved with contact sports.
Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) chair Richard Collier-Keywood announced on March 27, 2026, that he will step down at the end of his current three-year term on July 16, choosing not to stand for a second tenure. This follows Sean Lynn's confirmation on March 25 that Ashley Beck and Steve Salvin joined the Wales Women's coaching team on an interim basis for the Guinness Women’s Six Nations, with Beck leading the attack and Salvin taking on the forwards. Earlier, around March 13-15, Wales secured a 31-17 victory over Italy at the Millennium Stadium, ending a 15-game losing streak in the Championship stretching back to March 2023 and marking their first Six Nations win in three years. This morale-boosting success came amidst significant challenges for the WRU, which included facing multiple legal battles, a potential vote of no confidence for its chair, and one of its four regions, the Ospreys, reportedly on the brink of extinction, following the senior men's national side's previous record of 26 losses in 28 matches.
