Rugby in Argentina
Playing tours for universities, clubs and veterans, with fixtures against Argentine sides, and the chance to see Los Pumas at home in 2027.
Argentina has a strong club rugby game, above all around Buenos Aires, and a national side, Los Pumas, that plays New Zealand, South Africa and Australia every year in the Rugby Championship.
Touring sides come to play, to learn and to take in a match at the highest level. Tell us who you are and what you want from the tour, and we build it around your group.
