Rugby stemmed from the United Kingdom, and rugby football was its original name, which was short for rugby. Because the ball looked like an olive, so it was called "football" in China. Rugby was actually a city in the central England. The rugby school was the birthplace of rugby football.

There was a stone tablet in the school, which read" Commemorating the brave action of W. W. Ellis". They said that once in a football match, Ellis, was running with the ball in his arms in a moment of emergency, which was regarded as a mistake in 1823. But it caused the other players to follow. Although this was out of bound, it gave people a new inspiration. In Britain and the commonwealth regions, rugby attracted the interests of people who liked doing sports all over the world.

As time passed, it was gradually recognized by others. Thereupon, a new sport, which derived from the football, could not only benefit your body's all-around development, but also with high value of exercise.

Rugby gradually developed at Cambridge University after 1839 and established the rugby football club one after another. The intercollegiate games also became very active. UK set up the Football Association in 1871, soon this sport spread quickly to European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In 1886, the International Football Federation was established. The International Football game was held in France in 1906.

The British football changed continuously when it spread to other countries. Different forms of rugby also created by many other countries, like the United States, Canada and Australia. But the venue, equipment, rules, clothing, participate numbers and the ball's size, as well as the competition methods were all different. It could be generally divided into two kinds; British rugby (also called soft football) and American Football (also called the hard football) . They gained amusing nicknames on account of the various styles and play methods. In USA, it is also called NFL Football.

Rugby was called the hard football, because the players didn't wear guards in a competition. American football was slightly smaller than rugby, so it was easy to pass the ball.

Needing the team spirit of tenaciously strives to succeed, rugby was helpful to military training, and especially in physical stamina training. So this sport was also very popular in the army, and was strongly promoted. For this reason, rugby won the "ball of army" reputation in western countries.
