The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing the intention to adopt female rugby teams in high schools with male rugby teams. In considering the adoption of female rugby teams as an “innovation,” two aspects of innovation, the perceived attributes of innovation and attributes of organization, is explored. This study clarifies that 1) high schools with female rugby teams recognize rugby as an important educational activity, which serves as an attractive criterion for the recruitment of new female students, and 2) enthusiastic school personnel working towards the setting up of female rugby teams would be the key factor to help establish them in high schools.
