History

Santa Fe Rugby Club was founded on December 20, 1986, and shared Club La Salle Jobson's installations. Only after a year in existence, the club won the Unión Santafesina de Rugby title in 1987, the first of seven USR titles. Since 2000, SFRC has been taking part in the Torneo del Litoral, a tournament organised by the Rugby Unions of Santa Fe, Rosario and Entre Ríos. In 2008, the Club became the first club not from Rosario to win the Litoral title, beating Ateneo Inmaculada 21–13 in the final. Since 1986, six Santa Fe players have gone on to play for Argentina A and/or the Argentine sevens team.
