The Latvian Rugby Federation () is the governing body for rugby in Latvia. It oversees the various national teams and the development of the sport.
Rugby's history in Latvia starts in the early 20th century with clearer origins of rugby union dating to the 1960s. The federation was founded in 1991 as a member of World Rugby, following Latvia's freedom after suffering under Soviet occupation. As rugby sevens and rugby league was not played in the Soviet Union, the restoration of independence opened the opportunities for the growth of other variations of rugby. The federation was admitted to FIRA in 1992.
