List of Romania national rugby union players is a list of people who have played for the Romania national rugby union team. The list only includes players who have played in a match recognized by the Romanian Rugby Federation as a test match, whether it was played before or after the governing body was founded in 1931.

IRB Awards

The idea of rewarding excellence in rugby was disclosed in 2001 following the Annual Meeting of the International Rugby Board Council in Copenhagen, and the first ceremony was first awarded later that year.

As of 2021, they now present Women's Try of the Year. In 2020, World Rugby decided to "look back on a decade of international rugby" instead of presenting the usual awards.
