[1] The club currently plays in Primera A, the first division of the URBA league system.

The club has also a women's rugby team competing in "Torneo Femenino", organized by the same body.

In 1924, members of the rowing section of multi-sports Club Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata decided to try a new sport, so they could stay fit during the winter period.

Eight years later, football became professional in Argentina and URBA decided that rugby teams could not be part of professional clubs as rugby is an amateur sport in Argentina.

Many players have gone on to play for the national team and professional clubs in Europe.
