History of rugby union matches between Argentina and Ireland

The history of rugby union matches between Argentina and Ireland is one of a very even contest and significant mutual rivalry, a rivalry increased by a series of notable meetings at the Rugby World Cup.

The five matches played between 1952 and 1973 are not regarded as full internationals by Ireland, but are by Argentina.

At the end of the 2010 Autumn Internationals there was only a nineteen-point difference in cumulative points scored.

Ireland's largest winning margin is 46 points, which occurred in November 2021.
