The Saint Kitts and Nevis Rugby Association is the rugby governing body in Saint Kitts and Nevis. Based in Basseterre, it was founded in 2008.[1] The association became affiliated to the North America Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA, formerly NAWIRA) in the following year,[1][3] but it is not currently a member of World Rugby.

The British first introduced the game to the islands in the 1960s, and for a number of years it was mainly played by expatriates. Now it has some uptake by the local population.[4] Games against visiting ships, and touring sides are common, as well as against neighbouring Caribbean islands.
