The Satavian men's national rugby union team, commonly called the Dolphins, are Satavia's men's international rugby union team, and have represented Satavia at every rugby world cup since their inception in 1981. Rugby is considered Satavia's national sport, and the Dolphins have been champions once, in 1997.

The Dolphins were founded in 1888, making them one of the oldest national teams in the world, and they narowally lost their first international in October 1888 against Nuvania. Since then, the Dolphin's main rivals have been the TBD, Nuvania's national rugby union team.

In the 2021 Rugby World Cup, Satavia automatically qualified as host nation.
