The Georgia women's national rugby union team represents Georgia in women's international rugby union. They are governed by the Georgian Rugby Union and played their first international match in 2025. The team is nicknamed the Lady Lelos, following the tradition of the Georgian men's team.
The Georgian women's team played their first international test match on 18 April 2025, against Kazakhstan at Aia Arena in Kutaisi, Georgia. They lost 47âÂÂ5, the match marked a milestone, with winger Manoni Sagharadze scoring the teamâÂÂs first-ever try in the 26th minute. The second test was played on 24 April, ending in a 32âÂÂ0 defeat.
Head coach Jaba Malaguradze, who was previously in charge of the national sevens side, was tasked with building the foundation of the 15s program, aiming to integrate the team into the Rugby Europe Women's Championship pathway.
The team is known as the Lady Lelos, a reference to the traditional Georgian game Lelo burti and the nickname of the men's national side. They use the Borjgali symbol as their emblem, consistent with the men's team.
The growth of women's rugby in Georgia has faced cultural and structural barriers. However, with support from the Georgian Rugby Union and figures such as Ana Poghosian and development officer Natalie Kurtanidze, the womenâÂÂs game is gaining momentum. The debut of the 15s side in 2025 marks a commitment to long-term development, with aspirations to qualify for European-level tournaments and eventually global competition.
Lady Lelos are participating in the 2025âÂÂ26 Rugby Europe Women's Conference competition. They recorded their biggest win when they defeated Romania 43âÂÂ0 in the opening match of the tournament.
