History

Kazakhstan has competed in six Rugby World Cups between 1994 and 2014. They won the 2014 Asian Four Nations Championship in Hong Kong.[1] Up to 2019, Kazakhstan had only played four international matches since the 2014 World Cup. They defeated China in the 2019 Asia Rugby Women's Championship Division 1 competition and qualified for the 2020 Asia Rugby Women's Championship.[2]

The 2020 Asia Rugby Women's Championship was postponed twice before it was cancelled altogether.[3][4][5] The Nomads were left to play Hong Kong who later withdrew due to challenges caused by COVID-19.[6] They qualified for the repechage tournament and met Colombia who saw them off with a 18–10 victory in a semifinal berth.[7]
