History
Argentina first started to play rugby league in 2005 where the Australian Police rugby league team toured Buenos Aires. The Australian Police played two fixtures winning on both occasions, the first 40-4 and the second 60-6 with around 400 spectators watching both games.
In 2006 four teams took part in a Rugby League 9s tournament in Buenos Aires. There are plans to have rugby union clubs involved in a rugby league competition during the rugby union off season but since 2006 the game has struggled to gain a foothold in the country.
