The Satavia national rugby union team, commonly known as the Dolphins, represents Satavia in men's international rugby union, the country's national sport. The Dolphins have represented Satavia at every World Cup since its induction in 1981, winning in 1985 and 1997. Since February 2023, Satavia has held the world number-one ranked place, a position it has held at many times since 2012. Satavia's lowest ranking of eighth was achieved in 2008 for a two-month period.
Satavia has competed in the Asterias Cup alongside Gapolania, Nuvania, Satucin and Sublustria since 2003, winning ten times in that period. Satavia played its first international test match against Nuvania in 1888, losing narrowly by two points. The match was the first played using Asterian rules which introduced a more complex points scoring system, including awarding a point for scoring a try which was later gradually increased until it became worth five points in 1983. Satavia holds a positive win-loss ratio against all other test nations excluding Caldia and Nuvania whilst also holding a positive record against all multinational and provincial sides, including the Barbarians.
