Argentina will have a busy year of international rugby competition in 2025. Los Pumas will play matches as part of the July Internationals, the Rugby Championship and the November Internationals. In total, Argentina will play thirteen test matches in 2025.
 JULY INTERNATIONALS 2025 |
Argentina’s July Internationals will be expanded upon in 2025. The mid-year series of test matches will begin, for Los Pumas, in June. Los Pumas will be a part of the 2025 British & Lions Tour. Argentina will take-on the combined team of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in a match in Dublin, Ireland on Friday, June 20. The fixture will fall outside of the player release window which will mean restrictions on player availability, particularly for Top 14 players.
Los Pumas will play three matches in South Africa after the match in Dublin. Argentina are set to play host to England in a two match series. Lisandro Olearo reports that Rosario is being allocated one of Los Pumas’ home test matches against England. However, England’s fixtures will be in La Plata and San Juan. Rosario may host New Zealand instead.
Rosario last played host to a test match in 2013. It was Felipe Contepomi’s retirement; a home Rugby Championship match against Australia. The 2025 match against England will be played on Saturday, July 12. Both Rosario Central and Parque Independencia are being considered.
Argentina’s July fixtures will be two home matches against England and one against Uruguay. Los Pumas will return to La Plata to face England on Saturday, July 12. Game two will be at the foot of the Andes Mountains in San Juan on Saturday, July 12. Argentina’s home match against Uruguay will be on Saturday, July 19. The venue is yet to be finalized.
   RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP 2025 |
Argentina will open Rugby Championship 2025 at home against New Zealand. In a reverse of the 2024 tournament, the South Americans will play two matches against the All Blacks before traveling to Oceania to face Australia in two away matches. The final two rounds will again be home-and-away against South Africa.
Lisandro Olearo noted that three cities are being considered to host to Los Pumas vs New Zealand: Mendoza, Santiago del Estero and Buenos Aires. This could see Los Pumas playing once in the mainland and once in the capital: either Mendoza or Santiago del Estero for August 16 and Buenos Aires hosting the second test match on August 23. Alternatively, Rosario missing out on hosting England may see the city allocated a Pumas vs All Blacks match.
The two match series against the Wallabies has been confirmed. Australia will play host to Argentina on Saturday September 06 at North Queensland Stadium in Townsville and on Saturday September 13 at the Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney.
The two match series against South Africa will have a new look. Argentina is moving the match north. Los Pumas are in the final stages of negations with England Rugby (RFU) to play the match at Twickenham Stadium. The UAR is exhaustively analyzing the proposal from the RFU. Argentina previously played a Rugby Championship match against Australia in London in 2016.
| NOVEMBER INTERNATIONALS 2025 |
Los Pumas’ year will conclude with a three match European tour in November. No matches have been confirmed; however, Argentina is expected to face England in London, Wales in Cardiff and Scotland in Edinburgh. The official dates of these matches are unconfirmed as is the match order.
