The Asia Pacific Dragons, also known as APDs, is an invitational rugby union football team which was formed in 2011 as the Asia Pacific Barbarians. The team traditionally selects players from Asia and the Pacific Islands.
The Asia Pacific Dragons, owned by French businessman Eric Series, originally started playing 15-a-side rugby but expanded to play rugby sevens and rugby tens. The team, as the Asia Pacific Barbarians, won their first match in Hong Kong against an invitational World XV to claim the inaugural Chartis Cup in 2011, and successfully defended the cup in 2012 against the Saracens. The APD's also won the Hong Kong Club Tens in 2012 and the Singapore Cricket Club Sevens in 2013.
In 2014 the Asia Pacific Dragons competed in the World Club Tens. The club also formed the basis of a bid to enter a Singapore-based team in the Super Rugby competition for 2016, but the licence was awarded to the Japanese Rugby Union who formed the Sunwolves team. In 2015 the Asia Pacific Dragons played the Western Force in a pre-season game.
Players such as Radike Samo have made appearances for the team.
