Puma Trophy
The Puma Trophy is an international rugby union competition between Argentina and Australia. The trophy is a bronzed statue of a puma. Argentina and Australia first played against each other in 1979 and the trophy itself was established in 2000.
In 2012, it became a part of The Rugby Championship. The first draw between the two sides since the creation of the Puma Trophy happened in 2020. The next meeting – two weeks later – was also a draw; given the two draws Australia retained the Trophy for another year.
Australia had sole possession of the trophy until their loss in 2023. Since then, Argentina has retained the trophy and they are the current holders.
