In 2012, two Scottish-Chilean players, Donald and Ian Campbell, were inducted into the IRB (now World Rugby) Hall of Fame.

Rugby was introduced in Chile roughly around the late 19th century, as it was in other parts of South America by British immigrants who arrived in ports.

[1] The first recorded rugby game taking place on Chilean soil was in 1894, from British immigrants who lived in both Santiago, Iquique and Valparaíso.

The 2007 qualifiers were mostly the same song as the previous campaigns; Chile swept their first round against Paraguay and Brazil but in the final group lost both their games to Argentina and Uruguay, which once again would have secured a repechage at least, and potentially an automatic spot in the World Cup.

Chile cruised to victory versus Brazil but once again lost to familiar foes Uruguay, and once again missing out on a potential repechage or automatic qualifier.

Chile were also wooden spooners in the 2014 CONSUR Cup, the new competition featuring Argentina and the top 2 sides in South America.

However, the following year, Chile won the South American Championship for the first time in their history, cruising through both Brazil and Paraguay before defeating Uruguay at home 30–15.

Chile squeaked a home win versus Brazil, before playing a close game against Argentina before tiring out in the last 20 minutes, ultimately losing 52–15.

In a 2 legged play-off Chile held Canada to a tight 22-21 opener at Langford, British Columbia before overcoming 33-24 in Valparaiso, winning 54-46 on aggregate and booking their place in the Americas 2 qualifier v the USA.

Since the 1999 Rugby World Cup The Chile national team wears vibrant combination of red, white and blue as its official colors.

This bold hue embodies the spirit of Chilean rugby and reflects the team's unwavering commitment to the game.

White, serving as the secondary color, represents purity, unity, and sportsmanship, essential values that the team upholds both on and off the field.

The tertiary color, blue, adds depth to the palette, symbolizing loyalty, trust, and stability, qualities that are crucial for team cohesion and success in international rugby competitions.

While the specific design may vary, it often incorporates the national colors along with a iconic symbol of Chile, such as the Andean condor, a majestic bird that holds significant cultural importance in Chilean folklore.

The badge typically embodies the team's spirit of determination, strength, and unity, capturing the essence of Chilean rugby.

It serves as a powerful emblem that unites players and fans alike, instilling a sense of pride and belonging within the rugby community in Chile.
