2006 World Vintage Rugby Carnival -
September 17-23, 2006.
ARGENTINA HAS A LOT TO OFFER …
Argentina is located in the southern extreme of South America. It is bounded by Bolivia and Paraguay on the North, Brazil, Uruguay and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and by the Atlantic Ocean and Chile on the west and south.

Its vast geography in an area of 3,800,000 square kilometres creates limitless tourism possibilities – from the sub tropical forest in the northeast, with its fantastic flora and fauna, the never-ending beaches on the Atlantic; the cultural and cosmopolitan capital city of Buenos Aires; to the wonderful Patagonia, with its lakes, woods and glaciers – Argentina has it all and it’s just waiting for Vintage Rugby teams to explore.

RUGBY IN ARGENTINA...
Rugby in Argentina had its beginnings in the early 1900’s with the oldest clubs in the nation being inaugurated in Buenos Aires, La Plata, Rosario, Cordoba, Tucuman and Mendoza. The first rugby match in Argentina was played in 1873, the game having been brought to South America by the British, although it was only 26 years later that four clubs in the capital Buenos Aires got together to form the River Plate Rugby Football Union.

This body, one of the oldest rugby unions in the world, later became known as the Unión Argentina de Rugby, which became a member of the International Rugby Board only after being invited to the inaugural Rugby World Cup in 1987.

Although Rugby has not matched football for popularity in Argentina, in recent years the impressive results by Los Pumas – the national side (so named in 1965) – has seen its popularity grow enormously

The domestic game boasts just over 300 clubs and around 25,000 senior players, although many star names have benefited from playing professionally in Europe.
