The 2024 Asia Rugby Championship division tournaments refers to the divisions played within the annual international rugby union tournament for the Asian region. The Asia Rugby Championship (ARC) replaced the Asian Five Nations tournament in 2015. The main tournament is now contested by the top four teams in Asia excluding Japan. The other national teams in Asia compete in divisional tournaments. Originally set to be two tournaments, Division 1 held in Sri Lanka, and Division 2 held in Kazakhstan and there was suggestion of a Division 3 being held in Lebanon however nothing concrete from Asia Rugby.[1][2] However, with teams pulling out Division 1 and 2 was combined with Sri Lanka, Qatar, Kazakhstan, and India all competing for promotion to the Asia Rugby Championship.[3] Singapore Rugby organised the 2024 Tri Union Series, allowing Chinese Taipei, Singapore and Thailand to play international rugby.[4]
