How to meet other Australians in Buenos Aires

Start with the Australian Embassy’s event notices and the InterNations Australians in Buenos Aires page. If you’d rather meet over a shared activity, ask a local cricket or rugby club. The embassy’s invitation to Australian and New Zealand citizens covered its 25 April 2026 ANZAC ceremony only; wait for a fresh announcement before planning a visit.

How to ask about ANZAC Day and embassy events

The Australian Embassy is at Villanueva 1400, Buenos Aires C1426BMJ, phone +54 11 4779 3500; its published consular email is info.ba.consular@dfat.gov.au. An official embassy social post on 9 April 2026 invited Australians and New Zealanders wishing to attend that year's ANZAC ceremony to get in touch. A separate embassy post advertised a 2024 Australian–New Zealand service. That’s history, not a standing invitation. Check for a new announcement each year.

For a future ANZAC Day, look for an announcement on the embassy's activities page or its official Instagram @ausemb_ar and Facebook Australia en Argentina, Uruguay y Paraguay. If none appears, ask the embassy whether a ceremony is planned and how attendance is arranged. Confirm entry arrangements before turning up or sharing passport details. Emergency consular assistance has its own purpose. No recurring embassy schedule for an Australia Day party or Remembrance Day service in Buenos Aires has been verified.

Which Australian and newcomer groups can you actually find?

InterNations has an Australians in Buenos Aires page and a separate Australians in Argentina page. Check for a dated event and its access terms before you set off. A group page doesn’t promise a meetup this week.

The Facebook group Aussies and Kiwis in Buenos Aires appears in public search, but its page requires a login. Look for recent posts and moderation before joining; the listing alone doesn’t show whether the group is active. The Welcome to Buenos Aires Meetup welcomes people starting life in or visiting the city. It’s open to other nationalities too. The June 2026 listings have passed, so find a new event before travelling. A mixed group gives you another way to meet locals.

Australia's 2021 Census counted 17,977 Argentina-born residents in Australia. That count is for people in Australia, not a headcount of Aussies in Buenos Aires. Use the groups and clubs to meet people here.

Where to join cricket or rugby around Buenos Aires

Hurlingham Club's cricket page dates its first match to 6 January 1890 and describes a North–South competition involving Hurlingham, Belgrano Athletic, San Albano and Lomas Athletic. Hurlingham lists Av. Roca 1411, Hurlingham 1686 and phone +54 11 4662-5510. Ask about current sessions, membership and visitor access before making the trip out.

Belgrano Athletic publishes both a cricket page and a rugby page. If you would rather try another ground, the Argentine Cricket Association club finder is a directory for finding a club now. Contact a club directly about training level and playing season. The Australian-rules association listing is archival; find a current fixture or contact before making plans.

How to use a language exchange to meet locals

For a conversation-first option, open Mundo Lingo's Buenos Aires city page and choose a listing that explicitly offers language practice. Not every gathering is a language exchange, so read the event description before heading out. A language exchange lets you practise Spanish with people you have just met. Spanish learning in Buenos Aires covers more structured study.
