Rugby was introduced to Anguilla by the British who colonised the area.
Like many small islands, Anguilla has a population problem. The main sport is cricket, and the national population is a mere 13,477.
The main team is the Anguilla Eels RFC, who were formed in April 2006.[1] The Eels have been finalists in the St. Martin tournament in November 2006 and semi finalists in 2007.[2]
