The Italian Rugby Federation ( _it. Federazione Italiana Rugby) is the governing body for the sport of rugby union in Italy.

On 25 July 1911 a "Propaganda Committee" was formed to promote the sport of rugby union in Italy. In 1928 this body became the Federazione Italiana Rugby (FIR).

In 1934 the Federazione Italiana Rugby were founder members of the Fédération Internationale de Rugby Amateur.

The FIR joined the International Rugby Board (IRB) in 1987 when they took part in the inaugural World Cup.
