Argentina has announced its ambition to host the 2035 Rugby World Cup, marking a first for South America. The Argentine Rugby Union is collaborating with regional unions to potentially include neighboring countries. The bid aims to reflect the passion for rugby across Argentina.

Argentina has officially launched its bid to host the Rugby World Cup in 2035, a historic first for South America, as announced by the Argentine Rugby Union (UAR). Collaboration is underway with Sudamerica Rugby and the rugby unions of Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay to involve the region in the tournament.

World Rugby's CEO, Alan Gilpin, is in Argentina to discuss the feasibility of this continental bid with UAR President Gabriel Travaglini. 'The 2035 bid represents a truly federal ambition and a legacy-driven project that extends beyond our borders,' Travaglini stated, highlighting the regional impact.

As preparations commence, this marks a concerted effort to showcase Argentina's rugby achievements and growing enthusiasm, with special focus on the sport's development throughout the country.
