Map of countries' best results

Namibia has competed in five Rugby World Cup tournaments, having qualified as the African representative. The Namibian rugby union team, nicknamed the Welwitschias after the Namibian national symbol, made their first appearance at the Rugby World Cup in 1999 and appeared at the following four tournaments. Namibia has so far played 15 games at that cup without ever winning one.[1]

Namibia's best match result was in 2015 when they lost to Georgia by a single point.
