Uruguay Rugby Team

The Uruguay Rugby team, who are nicknamed Los Teros by fans, are one of the finest rugby union sides from the Americas. In 1981, they shot to fame when they won the South America Rugby Championship. The win was so unexpected because, between 1951 and 2014, Argentina only failed to win the competition once.

Read on to discover even more about the Uruguay Rugby team. On this page, you can see all the latest Uruguay Rugby results, fixtures and news. Plus, you can learn more about the history of the side and see the latest squad.

It's thought that rugby union was played in Uruguay as far back as 1865 when British immigrants introduced the game to locals. However, the Uruguay Rugby team wasn't officially formed until 1948, when the team made their international debut. In the unofficial South American Rugby Championship that year, Uruguay finished an impressive second.

Ever since, the Uruguay Rugby team have gained a proud reputation. They've established themselves as a side that can regularly beat tier-two nations and they've even gained notable results against teams as strong as the USA, Japan and Georgia.

Around the turn of the millennium, the Uruguay Rugby team started to gain prominence. They qualified for the 1999 Rugby World Cup and came close to beating several established sides. However, the team then began to stagnate. Although they once again qualified for the Rugby World Cup in 2003, they failed to qualify for the 2007 and 2011 editions.

However, post-2010, the Uruguay Rugby side are on an upward trajectory once again. They've qualified for the 2015 and 2019 editions of the Rugby World Cup and they've won the Mayor A division of the South American Rugby Championship three times (2014, 2016 and 2017

Historically, Uruguay have struggled to produce household names. However, several notable players have featured in Uruguay Rugby fixtures. For example, lock Rodrigo Capo Ortega played more than 200 games for Castres, while prop Pablo Lemoine played almost 100 times for Stade Francais before he returned to coach the national side in 2012.

Today, although most of the Uruguay Rugby squad play in South America, several of the team's notable players do play in top European competitions. For example, scrum-half Santiago Arata plays for Castres in the Top 14, while both Manuel Leindekar and Germán Kessler play in France's Pro D2.
