Rugby Australia’s Jujuy and Mendoza match pages confirm both scores. Check the local kickoff time before making matchday plans.

Rugby Australia announced the 2027 Wallabies–Pumas matches for Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Saturday 10 July and Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville on Saturday 17 July. Australia also hosts the 2027 Rugby World Cup. That announcement lists no Argentina-hosted meeting in 2027.

How the rivalry got to this point

Los Pumas are Argentina's national rugby union team; the Wallabies are Australia's. The Unión Argentina de Rugby (UAR) records a 21–17 Pumas win in Mendoza on 4 October 2014 as Argentina's first Rugby Championship victory. On 7 September 2024, Argentina beat Australia 67–27 in Santa Fe; World Rugby described it as the most points Australia had conceded in a Test up to then. The 2026 visit finished with an Australian win and a draw.

Where to watch rugby in Buenos Aires

For live local rugby rather than a television screen, start with the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires club directory and its fixture and results page. The URBA directory lists Belgrano Athletic, CASI, Hindú, Hurling, Lomas Athletic, San Isidro Club (SIC) and other affiliated clubs. Ask a club about the fixture, visitor admission, and any screening before travelling to its ground.

For a Wallabies–Pumas broadcast in Buenos Aires, get the match date from UAR or Rugby Australia. Look for the Argentine rights-holder’s listing, then ask a bar or club whether it will show the match and welcome visitors. Rugby Australia's 2026 first-Test guide named Stan Sport for viewers in Australia; check the Argentine broadcast rights-holder instead. If you want company for the game, find other Australians in Buenos Aires and arrange a venue with a confirmed screening, rather than arriving at kickoff to find a different sport on the telly.

How to buy tickets when a match in Argentina is announced

  1. Read the UAR Los Pumas page or Rugby Australia's match centre for the announced date, city and stadium. Check the host country as well as the teams.
  2. Follow the official event's ticket link when sales open. Check the venue and match date on the checkout page before paying. Confirm that the ticket is for the newly announced match.
  3. Plan travel from Buenos Aires only after the venue is known. The 2026 Tests were in Jujuy and Mendoza, so a BA address would have left you a long way from either ground.

Cricket clubs in Argentina offer another way to meet local players between Tests.
