The Polynesian Rugby Federation (French: Fédération Polynésienne de Rugby FPR) also known as Polynesian Rugby Federation-Tahiti (French: Fédération Polynésienne de Rugby-Tahiti) is the governing body for rugby union in Tahiti. It is responsible for the Tahitian national team and the Fédération Polynésienne de Rugby-Tahiti that administers the country's professional leagues.[1]
Due to Many Tahitians involved in the sport not recognizing the president of the FTR, the Polynesian Rugby Federation was formed in 2015.[1] In 2018, FTR who is affiliated with World Rugby had to pull out of the Pacific Mini Games(Pacific Games) sevens rugby tournament due to not having the government of French Polynesia's support.[2] This is because the government instead supports FPR.
