The Museum of Rugby has displays covering all of the main rugby playing nations other than England. In particular, the World Rugby Room contains displays with artefacts from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.

There is a smaller section in the room that covers more minor rugby playing nations: Argentina, Fiji, Ivory Coast, Romania, USA, Canada, Italy, Japan, Tonga, Western Samoa and Zimbabwe.

The displays include photos, cups, rugby kit, touch flags, match programmes and various art works.
