Touch started in Hong Kong in 1988, with under 200 members and a single tournament, the Summer Touch Tournament. The Hong Kong China Touch (HKCT) was formed in 2003 to help administer and organise the sport in Hong Kong, and it is a member of the Federation of International Touch (FIT). The HKTA has undergone a transformation with a new name - Hong Kong China Touch (HKCT) in 2023. HKCT is a Registered Society, holds a Business Registration, and is based at the offices of the Hong Kong China Rugby in Olympic House.

The HKCT Committee, made up of volunteers from the Touch community, oversees the sport, and the HKCR employ one full time Touch Manager, as well as providing development support through the auspices of their Community Department.

While Touch is recognised and supported as an independent sport, at schools level it makes sense to share resources between HKCR and HKCT as touch is the best game that can be introduced on hard court surfaces.
