Welsh Rugby Union, also known as WRU, is a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1881, it employs approximately 420 individuals and reported $139.9M in revenue as of 2025. The organization functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in contact sports and serves as the governing body for Rugby in Wales, the national sport of Wales.
Welsh rugby is undergoing a period of transition, with two new appointments and the Professional Rugby Board (PRB) beginning a search on July 8, 2026, for a new chair to succeed Marianne Okland. Earlier, on July 2, the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) appointed Steve Salvin as the full-time forwards coach for the Wales Women's team, making his interim role during the 2026 W6N campaign permanent. On July 1, the WRU switched on solar panels at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, an installation generating enough electricity to power over 50 matchdays and marking a key step in its decarbonization plans ahead of its first sustainability strategy later this year. This followed the WRU’s initiation of a search for a new independent chair on June 30, hiring executive search firm Gatenby Sanderson, a development that further delayed the decision on which professional region would face restructuring.
