The Arabian Gulf Rugby Football Union is the governing body for rugby union in the Gulf Cooperation Council member countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. To begin with most matches were played on sand but today almost all matches are played on grass pitches. As well as organising local competitions, the AGRFU also hosts the Dubai round of the IRB Sevens World Series, and will host the 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens in Dubai. Teams are mainly made up of expatriates, although an increasing number of locals are getting involved.
