Buenos Aires Cricket & Rugby Club

On 8 December 1864, the club officially inaugurated its game field in Parque Tres de Febrero of Palermo, Buenos Aires, where the Galileo Galilei planetarium is placed nowadays.

[8][9] Rugby union rules were first adopted by Buenos Aires FC in 1874[1] but the club was dissolved one year later.

[citation needed] In 1948, the facilities of the BACC were destroyed by the fire (some sources affirm it was intentional although those versions could never be confirmed).

Three years later, on 4 May 1951, both the BACC and BAFC decided to merge, under the name "Buenos Aires Cricket & Rugby Club".

[12][13] The recently created club did not have definitive location until 1952, when it moved to the Don Torcuato district, where Buenos Aires CRC established its headquarters.

In 1997, BACRC inaugurated the first purpose-built rugby union stadium in Argentina, erected in Los Polvorines, Greater Buenos Aires.

In 1945, Surí ("rhea" in the Quechua languages) began to play in tournaments organized by field hockey association, starting in the third division.

After many years playing its home games at different venues, due to Surí not having a stadium, the team finally joined BACRC in 1966, changing its name to Buenos Aires.
