Rugby union in Honduras is a minor, but growing sport.
History
2010 - Present
According to the World Bank, the population of Honduras is 7,754,687.
The first activity toward the starting of any team on Honduras was the creation of the Honduras Rugby website by John McCourt in 2010 and some groups on the Facebook social networking web site that were created by John and some other people who were interested in promoting rugby in Honduras. The first two teams started physical training in 2012.
The first two rugby teams were started at about the same time in mid 2012, one in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras and the other in the city of La Esperanza, Intibuca, Honduras. The club in Tegucigalpa was formed by a group of students including Steewart Boss, David Molina and Jorge Alvarado and trains at Villa Olimpica in Tegucigalpa. La Esperanza Rugby Club was formed by Northern Irishman John McCourt when he moved there and was the first club in Honduras to have rugby posts on their pitch suitable for kicking conversions and penalties. The two teams are yet to have a match against each other.
