Federación Peruana de Rugby

What Federación Peruana de Rugby does

Federación Peruana de Rugby (FPR) is the official national governing body for rugby in Peru, founded on February 11, 1997 (originally as Unión Peruana de Rugby) and headquartered in Lima. The federation operates as a non-profit organization recognized by World Rugby and Sudamérica Rugby, and registered with Peru's Instituto Peruano del Deporte (IPD) through RENADE. FPR's mandate spans governance, competition organization, and grassroots development of the sport across Peru, with rugby currently practiced in cities including Lima, Arequipa, Iquitos, Trujillo, Piura, Ilo, Callao, Barranca, and Lambayeque through affiliated clubs and university programs.

FPR's core offerings include national competitions (Torneo Metropolitano de Rugby XV, Circuito Nacional de Sevens), national team programs (men's, women's, and youth "Tumis" selections), coach and referee certification programs (Licencia C levels in Coaching, Referato, and Fuerza y Acondicionamiento), and club formalization services through RENADE/SUNARP registration. The federation operates without proprietary technology systems; its value delivery is built on a network of affiliated clubs, university partnerships (Universidad de Lima, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, USIL), school programs, and certified training pathways. World Rugby's Get Into Rugby program and the annual SUPERWEEK training event extend its capacity-building reach.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly based on recurring club membership and federation affiliation fees, supplemented by event-related income and corporate sponsorship (e.g., Lima Expresa). Customer segments are distributed across players, coaches, referees, clubs, schools, and universities — none of whom are commercial enterprise buyers. With 31 employees, FPR functions as a member-driven federation with no venture investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; its growth is financed through member dues, sponsorship, and international federation support.
