India at the World Cup
India played once, at Surrey in 2016: 29th of the 31 teams. India qualified as one of Asia's six teams, lost all three group games without scoring (0-25 to Puerto Rico, 0-14 to Ecuador and 0-15 to Chinese Taipei), then won one of three games in its placement group with Peru, France and Ireland. Ireland lost all three of its placement games, so India's win was over Ireland.
