Global Rapid Rugby was an international rugby union competition that launched a showcase series for six professional teams in 2019, played in locations across the Asia-Pacific region.[1] Rapid Rugby matches are slightly shorter than the traditional 80 minutes and have other variations from standard rugby laws that are intended to increase the speed of the game.[1]

The 2020 Global Rapid Rugby season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic after only one completed round of competition.[2]
