History

Tigre RC was the first rugby union club in Tigre so the existing clubs were dedicated to other sports such as football or rowing, which is a very practised activity because of the nearness of the Río Tigre that crosses the city dividing it in two.
After many attempts of creating a club where to practise rugby, on May 15, 1981 the "Tigre Rugby Club" was constituted. Once the club was formed, its managers began to search for a field, which was finally gave by the Government of the city.
