The South American Junior Rugby Championship is an annual
rugby union competition that features teams from
South America. The tournament began in
1972 with
Argentina as the host, which saw the locals win the title. It was not until
2008 when the first official Division B tournament was held, which was eventually won by
Brazil. In 2014, an addition competition was added, CONSUR Cup, which is contested by Argentina and the top team of the A Division the same year.
In 1999, it changed the minimum age permitted from U18 to U19. Since 2004, the tournament champion (excluding Argentina) qualifies to the next year´s
World Rugby U20 Trophy organised by the
World Rugby. Argentina automatically qualifies for the
World Rugby Under 20 Championship.
