Morocco have never qualified for the Rugby Union World Cup, their best result is 16-all draw with Namibia in the last stages of World Cup qualifying in 1994.
Morocco is currently involved in the qualifying process for the 2007 Rugby World Cup. They were the winner of group ("B") with Uganda and Ivory Coast, but lost both the home and away games against the winner of group A Namibia. Now they have to play home and away against Portugal in January 2007, and if successful, Uruguay for a berth in the Rugby World Cup as Repechage 1.
