Lebanon played their first international match in 1998, against Japan in Tokyo, Japan winning 0 - 52. The Cedars as they are nicknamed originally comprised players of Lebanese background in New South Wales, Australia. From these roots a domestic competition was formed in Lebanon, but not till 2002.
