The Andorra national rugby union team, nicknamed Els Isards (which is in Pyreneen Chamois) represent Andorra in international rugby union competitions. In March 2006 they were ranked 58th out of 95 Rugby playing nations by the IRB.
They compete in the European Nations Cup, and are currently at the division three level. In the qualification process for the 2007 Rugby World Cup they are currently playing in round 3, having already knocked out countries such as Norway, Slovenia and Sweden, despite having a population of just 70 000.
They play most of their home games in Andorra la Vella, the country's capital, though have had some matches in Foix, which is in France.
