Rugby is said to have roots dating back to the Middle Ages in various European countries. It was between 1845 and 1848 that its rules were codified, by students at Rugby City School and Cambridge University in Britain. While many variations of rugby have developed over the years, it is since 2016 that seven-a-side rugby has been played at the Olympic Games.
